What affects the price in West Hoathly
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to West Hoathly. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Hoathly. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Coloured bath resurfacing in West Hoathly, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Older homes around West Hoathly may have baths that have been in place for decades. A sound older bath is well worth repairing.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Older homes around West Hoathly may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

West Hoathly questions
My house in West Hoathly is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Typically: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send photos and we will advise.
I let a flat near East Grinstead station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes. Send pictures and the address, and we’ll quote, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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 booking.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead. In a village or hamlet like West Hoathly, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
