Coloured bath resurfacing in Printstile 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. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What to look for in a quote

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
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.

Printstile: your questions answered
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
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.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
