Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Kilndown

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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)

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

Materials we work on in Kilndown

Repair or replace in Kilndown?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

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 is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
