Coloured bath resurfacing in Cuckfield

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Cuckfield

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Cuckfield

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

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 regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Cuckfield: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

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.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repairing versus replacing in Cuckfield

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
