How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in West Hythe?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so West Hythe is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
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.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Coloured bath resurfacing in West Hythe without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in West Hythe as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

When to call us in West Hythe

Look out for any of the following:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote

- What preparation is included
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Honest limits

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in West Hythe
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
