About our coloured bath resurfacing in Wern
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Wern
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Wern?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
For landlords and businesses
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 work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wern as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace in Wern?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice

What affects the price in Wern
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- 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 photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
