Need coloured bath resurfacing in Chailey?

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Chailey without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Chailey

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Chailey and the rest of East Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Chailey?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Chailey. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most clients in Chailey get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
