What we do, step by step

- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Gilley Law
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Gilley Law. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SR3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Gilley Law
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
