Common questions in Gillingham
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Gillingham without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we’re called out for in Gillingham
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- 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
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For anyone letting property in or around Gillingham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Repairing versus replacing in Gillingham
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gillingham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Gillingham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
