Coloured suite to white in Bury, West Sussex
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Bury and the surrounding area, normally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bury
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
In a village or hamlet like Bury, homes are frequently older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and removing a bath from an older house is rarely simple. Coloured bath resurfacing in place avoids all of that.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bury and across West Sussex. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Bury. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RH20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. Somewhere as small as Bury, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Bury: what to know about coloured bath resurfacing
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as The Parish Church of St John the Evangelist, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.
Bury is about 7 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. We travel to homes and businesses in Bury, so you don’t need to take anything anywhere. We work in all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Bury to London (46 miles away).
Visits for coloured bath resurfacing in RH20 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. If your suite is in a house or flat on The Street, Houghton Lane and Coombe Crescent or a nearby road, we can come to you. Neighbouring places we cover for coloured bath resurfacing include West Burton (1 mile north-west), Amberley (1 mile east), Watersfield (2 miles north), Cross Gate (2 miles east) and Coldwaltham (2 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Horsham (15 miles north-east), Worthing (9 miles south-east), Bognor Regis (10 miles south-west), Chichester (11 miles south-west), Littlehampton (7 miles south) and Shoreham-by-Sea (14 miles east).
Around Bury
Typical jobs here are in homes near Dorset House School and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Amberley station, roughly 1.2 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Amberley Museum (1.2 miles south-east) and Arundel and District Hospital (3.8 miles south). Open spaces near Bury include Bignor Hill and Amberley Wild Brooks.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. In an older home in a village like Bury, replacing a suite can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
