Coloured bath resurfacing in Newport

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Newport

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Newport and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Newport. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newport. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Newport, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Newport

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Newport questions

Is my repair covered?

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

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

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 before the end of a tenancy.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Newport

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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.
