Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit

How to compare quotes

Tyn-y-cwm questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there any odour?

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

Do you cover the whole of Swansea?

The entire UK, including all of Swansea. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

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

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot 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.

Materials we repair

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
