Advice
Coloured bath resurfacing in Barfrestone, done in place
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Barfrestone and across Kent. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Barfrestone get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
