Coloured bath resurfacing in Southernden

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Southernden

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Southernden questions

Do you cover Southernden?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Southernden from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams 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 would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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.

Materials we work on in Southernden

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. 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 no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos

What affects the price in Southernden

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Southernden. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Southernden

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • 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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
