How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Gilfach Goch

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over 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

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Gilfach Goch

Gilfach Goch: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Gilfach Goch is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work in Gilfach Goch?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Gilfach Goch from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What about the toilet?

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

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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, generally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
