What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Glascoed

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

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 without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Glascoed customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Glascoed questions

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you work in Glascoed?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Glascoed and the rest of Torfaen. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Glascoed. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Glascoed, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Glascoed

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

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

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
