Coloured bath resurfacing near Glan-rhyd

Coloured bath resurfacing in Glan-rhyd without replacing anything

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

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

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Glan-rhyd. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Glan-rhyd. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs

FAQs for Glan-rhyd

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you work in Glan-rhyd?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Glan-rhyd. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
