Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bilting
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Bilting
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Bilting. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bilting: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are there extra charges for Bilting?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When to call us in Bilting
