Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Chalton

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins 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 there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Chalton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repairing versus replacing in Chalton

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common questions in Chalton

Do you cover the whole of Bedford Borough?

We cover the whole UK, including Chalton and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you cover Chalton?

We do. We send a technician to Chalton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are there extra charges for Chalton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
