Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Llanwern

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Llanwern

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Newport. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process

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 tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  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, generally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

What affects the price in Llanwern

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Llanwern

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it

Questions from Llanwern

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work in Llanwern?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Llanwern and the rest of Newport. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Llanwern?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Llanwern?

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

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

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

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Llanwern, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
