DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Nettlestead Green

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Nettlestead Green

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Nettlestead Green. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Nettlestead Green questions

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Nettlestead Green?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
