  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Y Ferwig

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Y Ferwig questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Which areas do you work in?

All of Ceredigion, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Y Ferwig?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

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

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Y Ferwig, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Y Ferwig as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Y Ferwig. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job.
