Coloured bath resurfacing for Hailsham homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hailsham

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Hailsham

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Landlord and trade work in Hailsham

If you manage property in Hailsham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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 next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BN27 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

What we are called out for in Hailsham

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
