About our coloured bath resurfacing in Pwllgwaun

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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 generally the cheaper route.

Common questions in Pwllgwaun

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover Pwllgwaun?

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

When can you do it?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Take a look at our full price list and bath cost comparison.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Pwllgwaun, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we’re called out for in Pwllgwaun

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pwllgwaun

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Pwllgwaun, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
