Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in South Street
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote

Questions from South Street
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
We work UK-wide, and that includes South Street. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover South Street?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to South Street and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including South Street. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlord and trade work in South Street
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price

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, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
