Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Budlett's Common
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Budlett's Common?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Budlett's Common. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
FAQs for Budlett's Common
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
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’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What areas do you cover?
All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When to call us in Budlett's Common
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
