Coloured bath resurfacing in Chillington without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

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

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place

See our full price list or bath cost comparison.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Questions from Chillington

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you work in Chillington?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chillington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Chillington.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot 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 booking.
