About our coloured bath resurfacing in Pontrhydyfen

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Pontrhydyfen questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Pontrhydyfen included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Neath Port Talbot.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA12 postcode.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Pontrhydyfen, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Pontrhydyfen

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Pontrhydyfen

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
