Need coloured bath resurfacing in Hawley?

When to call us in Hawley

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Look out for any of the following:

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

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Coloured bath resurfacing in Hawley, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hawley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

FAQs for Hawley

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

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. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
