Coloured bath resurfacing in St Julians

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in St Julians

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Newport. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in St Julians

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why St Julians clients choose us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key 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, typically ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole suite

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
