Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Tangmere
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in Tangmere
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?
We cover the whole UK, including Tangmere and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Tangmere?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Tangmere from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Tangmere
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Look out for any of the following:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
Repairing versus replacing in Tangmere
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Tangmere
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tangmere as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
