About our coloured bath resurfacing in Porth-y-waen

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we work on in Porth-y-waen

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Porth-y-waen

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How soon can you come?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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 often lifts.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare 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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What kind of damage it is
