Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Minster. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Minster without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Minster as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Minster
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Common problems we fix in Minster

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Get a quote
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What a repair cannot fix
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.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
