Coloured bath resurfacing in Ruckinge

Coloured bath resurfacing in Ruckinge, done in place

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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 matters when someone is living in the home.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Ruckinge

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Ruckinge

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
