Coloured bath resurfacing in Waterhall without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Waterhall and across Brighton and Hove. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Waterhall?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Waterhall, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins

Landlord and trade work in Waterhall

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Waterhall, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Waterhall: your questions answered

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you work in Waterhall?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Waterhall for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you cover the whole of Brighton and Hove?

Everywhere in the UK, Waterhall included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Waterhall?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
