How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Manston and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Manston, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key 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 next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Manston: your questions answered
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work in Manston?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Manston and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

We cover the whole UK, including Manston and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Landlord and trade work in Manston
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace in Manston?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Rooms protected and left tidy
