Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Borth-y-Gest

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we’re called out for in Borth-y-Gest

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Borth-y-Gest questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Borth-y-Gest and the rest of Gwynedd. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you accredited?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Borth-y-Gest

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Borth-y-Gest. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole suite

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
