Coloured bath resurfacing in St Mellons, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for St Mellons

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in St Mellons?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CF3 postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Mellons use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in St Mellons

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t 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 reply with a fixed price.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in St Mellons?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

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’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in St Mellons

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

Can I fix it myself?

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 typically the cheaper route.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
