Tovil questions

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

We cover the entire UK, including Tovil and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tovil. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ME16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos

What we’re called out for in Tovil

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for 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 over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
