DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Trawsfynydd
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Trawsfynydd
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Trawsfynydd
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you come to Trawsfynydd?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Trawsfynydd for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What else we do in Trawsfynydd
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Trawsfynydd, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Trawsfynydd. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
