Coloured bath resurfacing in Manafon, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Manafon

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended

Repairing versus replacing in Manafon

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Manafon questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Can you price it without visiting?

Do you cover Manafon?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Manafon from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
