About our coloured bath resurfacing in Sevenoaks
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Sevenoaks, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Sevenoaks
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Sevenoaks?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TN13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Sevenoaks

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
