Coloured bath resurfacing in Chelsea

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Chelsea

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Chelsea

Do you come to Chelsea?

We do. Technicians travel to Chelsea from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Are there extra charges for Chelsea?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Chelsea?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Landlord and trade work in Chelsea

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chelsea use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Chelsea

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Chelsea. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Chelsea?

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
