Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Chawton
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can generally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Chawton
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Chawton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Chawton and the rest of Hampshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
