Coloured bath resurfacing in Old Romney without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Old Romney
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you come to Old Romney?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Old Romney for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Old Romney

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
