What affects the price in Michaelston

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Michaelston. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Michaelston without replacing anything

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 a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Michaelston

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What about the toilet?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Neath Port Talbot and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Michaelston?

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
