Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Bow Street

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Bow Street without replacing anything

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bow Street as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bow Street

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bow Street use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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)

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

What we work on

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Bow Street

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Bow Street

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Bow Street. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SY24 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Bow Street

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you come to Bow Street?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bow Street and the rest of Ceredigion. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
