Repairing versus replacing in Oad Street
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350.

Questions from Oad Street
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Common problems we fix in Oad Street
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Landlord and trade work in Oad Street
If you manage property in Oad Street, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oad Street use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
