Coloured bath resurfacing for Penywaun homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Penywaun

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we’re called out for in Penywaun

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Penywaun

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
