Repairing versus replacing in Gurnard
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gurnard. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Gurnard
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Gurnard questions
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Gurnard?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer
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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
