Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Chearsley

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Are you accredited?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Chearsley

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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

What affects the price in Chearsley

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
