What affects the price in Stoke Gabriel
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Stoke Gabriel. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Stoke Gabriel
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Honest limits

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stoke Gabriel
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Stoke Gabriel
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
