Coloured bath resurfacing in Y Tymbl

When to call us in Y Tymbl

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

FAQs for Y Tymbl

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Y Tymbl?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Y Tymbl included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
