Coloured suite to white in East End, Kent
We travel to East End for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Coloured bath resurfacing in East End, done in place
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When to call us in East End
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Questions from East End
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in East End

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in East End get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
