Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Coloured bath resurfacing in New Street without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What else we do in New Street
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Questions from New Street
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you work in New Street?
We do. Technicians travel to New Street from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When to call us in New Street
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Look out for these signs:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before booking anyone
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
