Coloured bath resurfacing in Hawkinge

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hawkinge

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Hawkinge questions

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We cover the entire UK, including Hawkinge and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hawkinge. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Hawkinge and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Hawkinge

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace in Hawkinge?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Hawkinge customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hawkinge?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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