Coloured bath resurfacing in Ganstead, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Ganstead

Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom

- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What affects the price in Ganstead
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Ganstead: your questions answered
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you come to Ganstead?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ganstead from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Should you replace it?
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. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Everything repaired in place
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
