About our coloured bath resurfacing in Chalk End
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Chalk End. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole suite
- Any details about the material
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CM1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Chalk End
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.

Repair or replace in Chalk End?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Chalk End
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Chalk End questions
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Chalk End?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover Chalk End?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Chalk End from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
