Coloured bath resurfacing for Brynhyfryd homes

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  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, usually ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Brynhyfryd

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Brynhyfryd

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Brynhyfryd

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

Look out for these signs:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Brynhyfryd questions

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
