When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Oare

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Oare, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oare use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Common questions in Oare

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we are called out for in Oare

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
