Coloured bath resurfacing in Lidsing

Coloured bath resurfacing in Lidsing without replacing anything

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. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lidsing

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Lidsing

Do you cover Lidsing?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Lidsing and the rest of Medway. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

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.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What affects the price in Lidsing

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Lidsing. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lidsing. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
