Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Palm Bay homes
Our technicians come to Palm Bay for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Palm Bay
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Palm Bay. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Palm Bay
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Palm Bay is about 1 mile north-east of Margate, in Kent. We travel to homes and businesses in Palm Bay and the surrounding area, so there’s no workshop to go to. Palm Bay is one of 922 places in Kent where we work. We work right across the region, from Palm Bay to London (about 65 miles away).
All of CT9 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Jobs here include addresses on Omer Avenue, Fifth Avenue and Simon Avenue.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Common problems we fix in Palm Bay
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Palm Bay
Do you cover Palm Bay?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Palm Bay and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Palm Bay included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
