Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Llanbadarn Fawr get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Llanbadarn Fawr. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Llanbadarn Fawr customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common questions in Llanbadarn Fawr

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Llanbadarn Fawr?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SY23 postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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