Need coloured bath resurfacing in Hellingly?

Hellingly: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you work in Hellingly?

We do. We send a technician to Hellingly for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?

We cover the entire UK, including Hellingly and the rest of East Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hellingly

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Hellingly

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

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

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hellingly

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Hellingly

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Hellingly. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
