Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Strood
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Medway and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Strood
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Strood?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
