Common problems we fix in Freshwater East

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

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

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

If you let a flat or house near Lamphey station (about 1.3 miles north), we repair coloured suites between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Freshwater East without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Older homes around Freshwater East may have baths that have been in place for decades. If the bath is sound, coloured bath resurfacing gives it a new lease of life.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Freshwater East

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally 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. In a village or hamlet like Freshwater East, access can be the only tricky part. Once we are there, the coloured bath resurfacing works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 pictures.
