Coloured bath resurfacing across Chalkwell and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Chalkwell
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Chalkwell as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Chalkwell
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you come to Chalkwell?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Chalkwell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Repair or replace in Chalkwell?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Everything repaired in place
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in Chalkwell get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
