Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Porthmadog

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Porthmadog

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Porthmadog, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from Porthmadog

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you come to Porthmadog?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Porthmadog and the rest of Gwynedd. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Porthmadog.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Porthmadog. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Porthmadog get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Porthmadog

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

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LL49 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
