Coloured bath resurfacing in Royal Tunbridge Wells without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Royal Tunbridge Wells: your questions answered
Can a coloured bath be made white?

Is there a guarantee?

What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Will there be a smell?

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we’re called out for in Royal Tunbridge Wells
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
