What affects the price in Dolgellau

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Dolgellau, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Dolgellau without replacing anything

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. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Dolgellau: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Dolgellau is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dolgellau

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

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

Repair or replace in Dolgellau?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Dolgellau?

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.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
