Coloured bath resurfacing in Penhurst, done in place

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Penhurst as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Penhurst

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Penhurst use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Penhurst customers choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Common questions in Penhurst

Are you accredited?

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

What about the toilet?

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

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Penhurst?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Penhurst

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
