Coloured bath resurfacing in Llanfedw

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Llanfedw

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Llanfedw and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Llanfedw

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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

Common problems we fix in Llanfedw

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Llanfedw. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair typically 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

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CF3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Llanfedw

For anyone letting property in or around Llanfedw, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
