How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Thong. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Thong
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Thong
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Thong
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- 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
Before booking anyone

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Thong
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
