Coloured bath resurfacing in Machynlleth, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Machynlleth

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Machynlleth

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover Machynlleth?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Machynlleth and the rest of Powys. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Will it make a mess?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means 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. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Machynlleth as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Machynlleth. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
