Coloured bath resurfacing near Fochriw

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Fochriw

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we are called out for in Fochriw

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • 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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fochriw

For anyone letting property in or around Fochriw, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fochriw use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Why Fochriw clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
