What affects the price in Gallows Corner

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gallows Corner. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Basins & shower trays

Gallows Corner questions

Do you come to Gallows Corner?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gallows Corner for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Common problems we fix in Gallows Corner

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps
