Landlords, agents and businesses in Shermanbury
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Shermanbury. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Shermanbury
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you cover Shermanbury?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shermanbury and the rest of West Sussex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Common problems we fix in Shermanbury
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
