Coloured bath resurfacing in Kingston, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kingston and across Dorset. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DT10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Kingston
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

FAQs for Kingston
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
