Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Chilworth
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, 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.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Chilworth, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer
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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Chilworth
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
