- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lenham
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Common questions in Lenham
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lenham
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
