Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hartfield

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Hartfield

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally 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. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Questions from Hartfield

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Are there extra charges for Hartfield?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

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

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Common problems we fix in Hartfield

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Aftercare advice
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Hartfield. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
