About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hartley
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hartley and across Kent. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Hartley
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Most jobs done in one visit

Questions from Hartley
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hartley, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
