Landlords, agents and businesses in Gowkthrapple
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Gowkthrapple, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Gowkthrapple
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Gowkthrapple questions
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Gowkthrapple and the rest of North Lanarkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What else we do in Gowkthrapple
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The material
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.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
Repairing versus replacing in Gowkthrapple
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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts 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 doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are
