Common questions in Gawthorpe
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
What affects the price in Gawthorpe
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gawthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
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 you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What we are called out for in Gawthorpe

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, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
