Coloured bath resurfacing in Rhodes Minnis without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repairing versus replacing in Rhodes Minnis
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Faded or patchy colour

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
