Coloured bath resurfacing in Gaer, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

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

Related advice

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Gaer?

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Questions from Gaer

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our pricing or bath cost comparison.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Gaer

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Gaer

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
