Maidstone: your questions answered
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Maidstone?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Maidstone
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
