When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on

Coloured bath resurfacing in Alderney without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Alderney
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Alderney
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the entire of Poole?
The entire UK, including all of Poole. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you work in Alderney?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Alderney. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Our work in Alderney
Alderney is about 1 mile north-east of Poole, in Poole. We agree a date that works for you, and you’ll know when to expect us, so there’s no waiting around. We cover 18 places across Poole, from the larger towns to small villages.
We work across BH12, BH15 and BH14. That includes homes on New Road, Wool Road and Good Road and the roads around them. Nearby, we also work in Rossmore (1 mile east), Sea View (1 mile south-west), Poole (1 mile south-west), Alder Hills (1 mile east) and Knighton Heath (1 mile north).
Local landmarks in Alderney
Around Alderney, we work in homes near St Aldhelm's Academy, The Good Shepherd and Alexandra Park, among other places. Other local landmarks include Branksome Heath Junior School (within half a mile south-west) and St Aldhelm's Academy (within half a mile north-east). The closest station to Alderney is Parkstone (Dorset) station, roughly 1.2 miles south of the centre.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole suite
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Alderney, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BH12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
