About our coloured bath resurfacing in Cranbrook Common
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Cranbrook Common
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you come to Cranbrook Common?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Cranbrook Common from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

When to call us in Cranbrook Common
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Cranbrook Common
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs 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?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
