Coloured bath resurfacing near Roedean

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Roedean

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Roedean as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Roedean

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Do you come to Roedean?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Roedean from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Roedean?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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

What we can’t put right

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

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Roedean

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Roedean. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

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

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BN2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Roedean

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Roedean. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Roedean clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
