Coloured bath resurfacing in Nettlestead without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Nettlestead, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair is not the answer

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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Nettlestead: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Nettlestead

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Nettlestead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ME18 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
