Coloured bath resurfacing in Pen-Llyn

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Pen-Llyn

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Pen-Llyn. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Pen-Llyn

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • 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 doesn’t match a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Pen-Llyn questions

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
