Repairing versus replacing in Gunnista
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Common questions in Gunnista
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Gunnista included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Gunnista. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Gunnista
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
