What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Graig-y-Rhacca. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Graig-y-Rhacca. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Graig-y-Rhacca

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Graig-y-Rhacca

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

When to call us in Graig-y-Rhacca

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

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