Coloured bath resurfacing for Newport homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Newport without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newport

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newport use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Newport

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Newport

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What a repair can’t fix

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Newport

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Newport included. There is no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
