How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Swanscombe
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Swanscombe as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Swanscombe
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DA9 postcode.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Swanscombe included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price

Advice
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Swanscombe
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Swanscombe
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swanscombe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
