Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Lower Hartlip
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Lower Hartlip
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Lower Hartlip. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Hartlip
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
