Coloured bath resurfacing in Northbourne without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Northbourne
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CT14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour-matched on site
- Work done at your home or business
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
