Coloured bath resurfacing in St Thomas

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in St Thomas get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in St Thomas

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace in St Thomas?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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 are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place

Landlord and trade work in St Thomas

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in St Thomas?

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

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

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

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Questions from St Thomas

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you cover St Thomas?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to St Thomas and the rest of Swansea. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are there extra charges for St Thomas?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
