About our coloured bath resurfacing in Canterbury
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Canterbury
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Most customers in Canterbury get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Canterbury
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Canterbury is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Canterbury use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Canterbury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
