Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Talacharn. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Talacharn
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Talacharn
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you come to Talacharn?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Talacharn from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Landlord and trade work in Talacharn
If you manage property in Talacharn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
