Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Sandling
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Sandling questions
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Sandling.
Are there extra charges for Sandling?

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire suite
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When to call us in Sandling
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
