Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in East Dean

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

Every job is backed for twelve months in East Dean and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in East Dean

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for these signs:

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

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in East Dean

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in East Dean, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in East Dean

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

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in East Dean.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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