Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Old Hawkinge
Our repair technicians come to Old Hawkinge for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Old Hawkinge
Most suites take one or 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 avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Old Hawkinge. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour-matched on site
- Most jobs done in one visit

Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

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

Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites

- Coloured basins

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
