Coloured bath resurfacing in Pen Tranch

When to call us in Pen Tranch

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.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Pen Tranch without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Torfaen. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Pen Tranch

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pen Tranch. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Pen Tranch

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Pen Tranch: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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 usually the cheaper route.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key 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 following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
