How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Brighton and Hove
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Brighton and Hove. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Brighton and Hove questions
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Common problems we fix in Brighton and Hove
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Can I fix it myself?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Brighton and Hove
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Brighton and Hove. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.
