Coloured bath resurfacing in Pontprennau

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Pontprennau

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CF23 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we’re called out for in Pontprennau

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

  • 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
  • Faded or patchy colour

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price
