Coloured bath resurfacing for Buttrills homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Buttrills without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, 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.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Buttrills

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Buttrills?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Buttrills.

Which areas do you work in?

All of the Vale of Glamorgan, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Buttrills

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
