Coloured bath resurfacing in Holywell

Coloured bath resurfacing in Holywell without replacing anything

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Holywell

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Common reasons people in Holywell contact us are:

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

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

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
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

FAQs for Holywell

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you work in Holywell?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Holywell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Holywell

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
