Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Barry

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites

Coloured bath resurfacing in Barry, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Barry questions

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Barry

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barry

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barry as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
