DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Ovingdean
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Ovingdean. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Ovingdean
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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
