How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lympne
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lympne. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
