What else we do in Five Wents
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Five Wents
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Five Wents as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Five Wents: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Five Wents and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Five Wents?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Five Wents. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When to call us in Five Wents
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
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 do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Most customers in Five Wents get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
