Coloured bath resurfacing in Kidbrooke, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Kidbrooke questions
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover Kidbrooke?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Kidbrooke. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kidbrooke use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Kidbrooke get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Kidbrooke
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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 on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
