Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Penthryn

Coloured bath resurfacing in Penthryn without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

  • Faded or patchy colour

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

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

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. 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.

Questions from Penthryn

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work in Penthryn?

We do. We send a technician to Penthryn for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Repairing versus replacing in Penthryn

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Penthryn clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Penthryn

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Powys and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Penthryn use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
