Coloured bath resurfacing in Chelston, done in place

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

FAQs for Chelston

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do you cover the whole of Somerset?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Chelston. Prices do not change with location.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Chelston

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Repair or replace in Chelston?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
