Coloured bath resurfacing in Staplehurst, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
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. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Staplehurst
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Staplehurst included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you cover Staplehurst?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Staplehurst. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Staplehurst. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What we’re called out for in Staplehurst
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
