About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hastingleigh
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 coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hastingleigh. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
If you’re in Hastingleigh and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common problems we fix in Hastingleigh
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace in Hastingleigh?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Hastingleigh
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Hastingleigh?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Hastingleigh. Prices don’t change with location.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work in Hastingleigh?
We do. We send a technician to Hastingleigh for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
