What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Dial Post without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Dial Post

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you work in Dial Post?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Dial Post. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across West Sussex.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

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

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

The whole UK, including all of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Dial Post. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Common problems we fix in Dial Post

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
