FAQs for Penshurst

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Penshurst

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Penshurst

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Penshurst. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Penshurst, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Penshurst

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Common reasons people in Penshurst contact us include:

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

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
