How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Cefn

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Choosing a repair company

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Cefn clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK
