DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- 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, usually ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What else we do in Gawthorpe
Gawthorpe: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover the whole of Wakefield?
Across the UK, and that includes Gawthorpe. Prices do not change with location.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What affects the price in Gawthorpe
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Gawthorpe. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gawthorpe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
