Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Tai'rysgol

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Tai'rysgol

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • 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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Tai'rysgol

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Swansea, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you work in Tai'rysgol?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Tai'rysgol from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Tai'rysgol?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
