Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Kents Bank

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Kents Bank without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it 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.

10 questions to ask before you book

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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site

What affects the price in Kents Bank

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Kents Bank. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
