How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for The Chessels. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in The Chessels, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
