Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Roughway
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Roughway
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

- How changes to the job are handled

What affects the price in Roughway
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Roughway, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Roughway use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Roughway
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price

FAQs for Roughway
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you come to Roughway?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Roughway and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
