How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Llanaelhaearn

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Llanaelhaearn. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Llanaelhaearn

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

Customers typically contact us about:

  • 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

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Llanaelhaearn

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Llanaelhaearn questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
