When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Llanelwedd, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Llanelwedd?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Llanelwedd

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Llanelwedd?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Llanelwedd

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.
