Coloured bath resurfacing in Three Crosses

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Three Crosses

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we are called out for in Three Crosses

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • 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
  • Faded or patchy colour

How to compare quotes

Questions from Three Crosses

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work in Three Crosses?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Three Crosses and the rest of Swansea. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Swansea.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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, generally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Three Crosses. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Three Crosses

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Three Crosses. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Three Crosses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
