- Faded or patchy colour

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Gibraltar
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Advice
Gibraltar questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Gibraltar. The price depends on:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Gibraltar, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Gibraltar
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Same prices wherever you are

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
