Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Alweston and the surrounding area, generally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- 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
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Alweston
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Alweston as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Alweston: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
We cover the entire UK, including Alweston and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of 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.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Alweston, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Alweston
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
