Coloured bath resurfacing in Newtown

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Newtown

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

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.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Newtown customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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)

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

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Newtown

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • 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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work
