What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Chale, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Chale

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Chale questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When to call us in Chale

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.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
