Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Y Drenewydd?

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

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

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

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Y Drenewydd

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

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: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Y Drenewydd, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

FAQs for Y Drenewydd

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Repair or replace in Y Drenewydd?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 generally cheaper.
