Coloured bath resurfacing in Tir-y-dail

Coloured bath resurfacing in Tir-y-dail, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

For landlords and businesses

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.

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repair or replace in Tir-y-dail?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Tir-y-dail

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Honest limits

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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Tir-y-dail

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
