Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Gallows Corner?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Common reasons people in Gallows Corner contact us are:

  • 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

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

What affects the price in Gallows Corner

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Gallows Corner, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Gallows Corner, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Honest limits

In fairness, 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
