About our coloured bath resurfacing in Tenterden
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tenterden as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Tenterden
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Tenterden included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
