Coloured bath resurfacing in Penygelli, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Penygelli

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Penygelli. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Penygelli. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SY16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Penygelli

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Penygelli as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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

Penygelli: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you come to Penygelli?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Penygelli from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
