Coloured bath resurfacing in Pontyates

Coloured bath resurfacing in Pontyates without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to 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 selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Pontyates questions

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you work in Pontyates?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pontyates for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Pontyates?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA17 postcode.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pontyates. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
