Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Chalton

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Chalton

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Chalton: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Hampshire.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

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

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Chalton

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Chalton

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
