- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour

Coloured bath resurfacing in Blacklands, 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. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Blacklands
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

FAQs for Blacklands
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?
We cover the whole UK, including Blacklands and the rest of East Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blacklands use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What a repair can’t 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)
