Coloured bath resurfacing for Garnlydan homes

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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, usually ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

Coloured bath resurfacing in Garnlydan without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Garnlydan

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • 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 doesn’t match a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Garnlydan

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Landlord and trade work in Garnlydan

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

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Blaenau Gwent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

Common questions in Garnlydan

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you cover the whole of Blaenau Gwent?

All of Blaenau Gwent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole suite

There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.
