Coloured bath resurfacing near Mayfield

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Mayfield, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.

Somewhere as small as Mayfield, you’ll find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Some have heavy cast iron baths or tight bathrooms, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Coloured bath resurfacing in place avoids all of that.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Mayfield and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Mayfield

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

If you let a flat or house near Crowborough station (about 3.6 miles north-west), we repair coloured suites between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Older homes around Mayfield may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. A repair keeps the original.

Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Mayfield

  • One-year guarantee on every repair

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mayfield as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Baths in Mayfield homes

FAQs for Mayfield

I let a flat near Crowborough station. Can you help between tenants?

Of course: pictures and an address are all we need for a price, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.

Do you cover villages like Mayfield?

Yes, we do: Mayfield is covered like any town. Just mention any tricky access.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work in Mayfield?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Mayfield and the rest of East Sussex. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items. In a village or hamlet like Mayfield, access can be the only tricky part. Once we are there, the coloured bath resurfacing works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space clear if you can

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites
