Coloured bath resurfacing for Fforest homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Fforest without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can generally put it right, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Fforest

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do I need to be at home?

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

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Swansea and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Fforest

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Fforest

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to look after the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
