Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Maresfield
Our repair technicians come to Maresfield for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Maresfield without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What affects the price in Maresfield
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Maresfield questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Maresfield. Prices do not change with location.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Maresfield?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
