Coloured bath resurfacing in Whitehall, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Whitehall. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Whitehall

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

The entire UK, including all of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

When to call us in Whitehall

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Honest limits

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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
