What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Griffithstown

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Griffithstown questions

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will the price change on the day?

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

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Griffithstown?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Landlord and trade work in Griffithstown

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Torfaen and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

When to call us in Griffithstown

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

Common reasons people in Griffithstown contact us are:

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

Our hiring checklist

The process

From the moment we arrive, 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. 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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
