About our coloured bath resurfacing in Chowdene
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are

How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Chowdene
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Chowdene. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
