Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Rainham
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Rainham and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What else we do in Rainham
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
What affects the price in Rainham
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rainham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
