Coloured bath resurfacing for Chevithorne homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Chevithorne without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you have selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.

In a village or hamlet like Chevithorne, homes are frequently older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Coloured bath resurfacing in place avoids all of that.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Chevithorne

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

For older houses around Chevithorne, near landmarks such as Church of St Thomas, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How to look after the finish
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Chevithorne

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. For a rural home like those around Chevithorne, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while coloured bath resurfacing is one trip.

Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Chevithorne customers choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

See our Prices page Or Resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result. In a village or hamlet like Chevithorne, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space clear if you can

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
