Coloured bath resurfacing for Caegarw homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Caegarw

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Caegarw: your questions answered

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Work for landlords and builders

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Caegarw, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Caegarw

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Comparing quotes

  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
