DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Detling
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Detling: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do you cover Detling?
We do. We send a technician to Detling for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Landlord and trade work in Detling
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Detling, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Detling. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
