Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Wivelsfield

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Wivelsfield

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Wivelsfield

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Questions from Wivelsfield

Do you cover Wivelsfield?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Wivelsfield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
