Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Brabourne Lees

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Brabourne Lees and across Kent. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Brabourne Lees, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we do, step by step

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 tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, 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.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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 is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Brabourne Lees

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled

Brabourne Lees questions

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
