How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Furnace Green

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Furnace Green

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Which areas do you work in?

All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Most clients in Furnace Green get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
