How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Cwm

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can generally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Cwm and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Cwm clients choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

FAQs for Cwm

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cwm as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Cwm

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
