Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Gaskins

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

FAQs for Gaskins

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it messy?

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

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

We clean, degrease and repair any chips.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

The colour and finish to match
Whether we combine several jobs
The type of damage
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gaskins. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
One picture of the whole suite
The material, if you know it
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PO33 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
