Common problems we fix in Bryn Gates

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bryn Gates

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Bryn Gates

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bryn Gates. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Common questions in Bryn Gates

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Bryn Gates is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Bryn Gates

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
