How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Pwll-mawr

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Pwll-mawr

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

Clients generally contact us about:

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

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

FAQs for Pwll-mawr

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

We do. We send a technician to Pwll-mawr for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
