Common problems we fix in Hythe

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

We price from photos 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, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble 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 risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves 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. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Hythe: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Do you come to Hythe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hythe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Hythe?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SO45 postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Hythe. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
