Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Chyandour

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Chyandour customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  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, normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Chyandour

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Chyandour

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Chyandour. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Chyandour. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Chyandour questions

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you work in Chyandour?

We do. We send a technician to Chyandour for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What information do you need?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
