Common problems we fix in Gwystre

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

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • 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 booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Gwystre

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Powys. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gwystre

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Questions from Gwystre

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are there extra charges for Gwystre?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it messy?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
