Coloured suite to white in Hastings, Somerset
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Hastings and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Hastings without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Hastings
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hastings use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays

What else we do in Hastings
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job without visiting.

What affects the price in Hastings
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Hastings: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Hastings and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
