About our coloured bath resurfacing in Pen-y-Dre

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Pen-y-Dre

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Pen-y-Dre, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Pen-y-Dre

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

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 you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Pen-y-Dre is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
