Coloured bath resurfacing for Tre'r llai homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tre'r llai

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common questions in Tre'r llai

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover the whole of Powys?

Everywhere in the UK, Tre'r llai included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Tre'r llai. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Tre'r llai

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

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SY21 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
