Coloured bath resurfacing in Trefonen

Coloured bath resurfacing in Trefonen, done in place

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Common questions in Trefonen

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work in Trefonen?

We do. We send a technician to Trefonen for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Trefonen

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trefonen as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Trefonen

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Repair or replace in Trefonen?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
