Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Folkestone
We travel to Folkestone for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Folkestone use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Folkestone
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

FAQs for Folkestone
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.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Folkestone.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Folkestone?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
