Coloured bath resurfacing in Coedkernew

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we work on in Coedkernew

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Coedkernew without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Coedkernew questions

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Coedkernew. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When to call us in Coedkernew

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Coedkernew

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
