Repairing versus replacing in Gallows Inn

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Same prices wherever you are

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Gallows Inn

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Gallows Inn

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.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What affects the price in Gallows Inn

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Gallows Inn

What happens next?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Gallows Inn included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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