Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Paddock Wood

Coloured bath resurfacing in Paddock Wood without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Paddock Wood

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Paddock Wood

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Common questions in Paddock Wood

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
