About our coloured bath resurfacing in Barming Heath

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barming Heath

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Common questions in Barming Heath

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Barming Heath?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

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

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
