Landlord and trade work in Treharris

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Treharris

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in Treharris

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Treharris

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Common questions in Treharris

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

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

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will it make a mess?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 usually cheaper.
