Coloured bath resurfacing for Gelligaer homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Gelligaer

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Caerphilly. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Gelligaer

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  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. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Common problems we fix in Gelligaer

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 usually the cheaper route.

FAQs for Gelligaer

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Are there extra charges for Gelligaer?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Gelligaer?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Gelligaer and the rest of Caerphilly. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What affects the price in Gelligaer

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Gelligaer, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gelligaer. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
