Coloured suite to white in Chaulden, Hertfordshire
Our technicians come to Chaulden for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Chaulden
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Chaulden. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Chaulden. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Chaulden
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HP1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Chaulden
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
The entire UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
