About Gatcombe
Gatcombe is about 2 miles south of Newport, in Isle of Wight. We travel to homes and businesses in Gatcombe and nearby villages, so you don’t need to take anything anywhere. Gatcombe is one of 125 places in Isle of Wight we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 78 miles away.
All of PO30 is covered. Whether you live on Gatcombe Road, Rectory Lane and Newbarn Lane or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. We also travel to Chillerton (1 mile south), Plaish (2 miles north-west), Clatterford (2 miles north), Bowcombe (2 miles north-west) and Carisbrooke (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Ryde (8 miles north-east), Cowes (6 miles north), Sandown (6 miles east), Shanklin (6 miles east), Ventnor (6 miles south-east) and East Cowes (6 miles north). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so call us to arrange it.
Around Gatcombe
We visit homes around Chillerton and Rookley Primary School, Christ The King College and St. Olave's Church, among other places. A little further out are Carisbrooke Castle (1.6 miles north) and Isle of Wight Music Museum (2.5 miles north). The countryside around Gatcombe includes Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Brighstone Down.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Gatcombe
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gatcombe and across Isle of Wight. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Gatcombe?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice
Landlord and trade work in Gatcombe
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gatcombe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Gatcombe questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Gatcombe?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
For a price in Gatcombe, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy
