What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Gravel Castle?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you do the toilet too?

Coloured bath resurfacing in Gravel Castle without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Advice
What affects the price in Gravel Castle
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gravel Castle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Gravel Castle
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
