Coloured suite to white in Tidebrook, East Sussex

Coloured bath resurfacing in Tidebrook, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Tidebrook
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Tidebrook included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 pictures.
