Repair or replace in Llandre?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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.

Materials we work on in Llandre

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

What we’re called out for in Llandre

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Llandre

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

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

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What affects the price in Llandre

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Llandre. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Llandre. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

For a price in Llandre, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
