Coloured bath resurfacing near Llanfarian

Coloured bath resurfacing in Llanfarian without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Llanfarian

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • 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 doesn’t match a new bathroom

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

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. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Llanfarian, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Llanfarian, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. 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)

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

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Llanfarian: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Llanfarian?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SY23 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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 usually cheaper.
