Coloured bath resurfacing in Tŷ-canol

Coloured bath resurfacing in Tŷ-canol without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Tŷ-canol and everywhere else. 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.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Tŷ-canol, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tŷ-canol

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What we are called out for in Tŷ-canol

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Common reasons people in Tŷ-canol contact us are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
