Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Alton

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Alton clients choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

Coloured bath resurfacing in Alton, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Questions from Alton

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you come to Alton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Alton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Alton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Alton?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Alton

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Alton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Alton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
