Coloured bath resurfacing for Gwern homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Gwern

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

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: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Gwern?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Gwern customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

What affects the price in Gwern

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Gwern. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Gwern get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Questions from Gwern

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What about the toilet?

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

Do you work in Gwern?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Gwern

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t 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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
