About our coloured bath resurfacing in Great Chishill

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Great Chishill

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Great Chishill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Great Chishill get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • Items cracked right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

FAQs for Great Chishill

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Great Chishill?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
