Coloured bath resurfacing in Upperton, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you have a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.
Around Upperton, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some with bathrooms that have been in for years. If the bath is sound, coloured bath resurfacing saves replacing it.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Upperton
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Upperton. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Upperton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When to call us in Upperton
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Landlords with property near Eastbourne station (in Upperton itself) use us between tenancies, so coloured suites are repaired rather than replaced.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite. For a home in Upperton, we normally park close by and start straight away.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

FAQs for Upperton
Do you work for landlords with property near Eastbourne station?
Yes, rental work is a big part of what we do.
Can you restore the original coloured suites in an older house in Upperton?
Usually, yes. Older coloured suites are frequently worth repairing rather than replacing. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Upperton?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Upperton?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. In a smaller place like Upperton, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair is one visit from us.
Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material 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.
