- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What affects the price in Gilgarran
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Gilgarran: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are there extra charges for Gilgarran?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

For anyone letting property in or around Gilgarran, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Repairing versus replacing in Gilgarran

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
