Coloured bath resurfacing near Hastings Old Town

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Hastings Old Town, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How soon can you come?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hastings Old Town. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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 happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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, normally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
