Coloured bath resurfacing in Chatter Alley

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Chatter Alley

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Chatter Alley

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

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 cover Chatter Alley?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Chatter Alley. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Chatter Alley included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Chatter Alley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
