Coloured suite to white in Blackwater, Dorset

- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Blackwater
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Blackwater
Do you cover Blackwater?
We do. We send a technician to Blackwater for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Blackwater?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Blackwater. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 before booking.
