Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Kettering
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Kettering, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kettering use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
When to call us in Kettering
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.
Keep an eye 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 doesn’t match a new bathroom

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, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kettering, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Kettering
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover Kettering?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Kettering from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
