Coloured bath resurfacing in Chilton without replacing anything
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DL17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Chilton
Chilton: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover Chilton?
We do. Technicians travel to Chilton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Chilton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
