FAQs for Gillock
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Gillock
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Gillock?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Gillock
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Gillock, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
