Coloured bath resurfacing for Harbourland homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Harbourland

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Harbourland and across Kent. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we’re called out for in Harbourland

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins

Harbourland questions

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to Harbourland?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Harbourland from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
