Coloured bath resurfacing in Fordwich without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins 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.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Fordwich: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Fordwich?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CT2 postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Fordwich, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit

- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
