Coloured bath resurfacing for Mereworth homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Mereworth

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Mereworth, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Mereworth questions

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Mereworth?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME18 postcode.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Mereworth

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
