What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Coloured bath resurfacing in Amberley, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace in Amberley?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Amberley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Amberley questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Are there extra charges for Amberley?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Amberley?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Comparing quotes
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
