Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Kingston
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare 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, generally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

When to call us in Kingston
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- 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 to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Kingston
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
What affects the price in Kingston
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Kingston. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Kingston
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
