Coloured bath resurfacing in Sully and Lavernock

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Sully and Lavernock. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Sully and Lavernock

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Sully and Lavernock: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Are there extra charges for Sully and Lavernock?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover the whole of the Vale of Glamorgan?

We cover the whole UK, including Sully and Lavernock and the rest of the Vale of Glamorgan. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Sully and Lavernock

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
