Coloured bath resurfacing in Alfold Bars

Coloured bath resurfacing in Alfold Bars without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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. Prices start from £350. 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?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Questions from Alfold Bars

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Alfold Bars and the rest of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot 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)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Get a quote

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RH14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

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 you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.

When to call us in Alfold Bars

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
