Coloured bath resurfacing in Henhurst without replacing anything
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. 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 a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Common problems we fix in Henhurst
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.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Henhurst
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Henhurst use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Common questions in Henhurst
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Henhurst. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole suite
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Henhurst, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
