Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Skippers Hill

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Skippers Hill

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • 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 booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole suite

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 will not last.

Repairing versus replacing in Skippers Hill

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

FAQs for Skippers Hill

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN20 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
