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 with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ripe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ripe without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ripe and across East Sussex. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Ripe
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Ripe?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you cover Ripe?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ripe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Ripe
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole suite
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Ripe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
