Coloured bath resurfacing for Cwmdu homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Cwmdu, done in place

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace in Cwmdu?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Cwmdu

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

Clients generally contact us about:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Cwmdu

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Questions from Cwmdu

Do you cover Cwmdu?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cwmdu from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
