Common questions in Chilton Foliat

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Chilton Foliat. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What we are called out for in Chilton Foliat

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Chilton Foliat. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

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 price the job without visiting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chilton Foliat

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Chilton Foliat. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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