The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Tilgate
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Tilgate, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Tilgate get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
