DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gateforth Park. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gateforth Park use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Gateforth Park get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Gateforth Park: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across North Yorkshire.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Gateforth Park?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
