Coloured bath resurfacing near Chenies

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Chenies

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Chenies. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Chenies, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chenies use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Chenies

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

How do I book?

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

Is it messy?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Chenies is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
