Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Eastbourne
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Eastbourne
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Eastbourne?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BN23 postcode.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, 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 before you book.
Materials we work on in Eastbourne

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole suite
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Eastbourne
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Eastbourne
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
