Coloured bath resurfacing in Efail Isaf

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Efail Isaf, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help.

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Efail Isaf

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

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Questions from Efail Isaf

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
