Advice
Common problems we fix in Barcombe Mills
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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Barcombe Mills
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of East Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Barcombe Mills from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
