Coloured bath resurfacing near Cwm Talwg

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Cwm Talwg

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Cwm Talwg questions

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Do you cover the entire of the Vale of Glamorgan?

Everywhere in the UK, Cwm Talwg included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Cwm Talwg?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Cwm Talwg

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

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cwm Talwg as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Cwm Talwg, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 usually the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
