Coloured bath resurfacing near Blandford Forum

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Coloured bath resurfacing in Blandford Forum, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Blandford Forum

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

We cover the entire UK, including Blandford Forum and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you come to Blandford Forum?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Blandford Forum for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When to call us in Blandford Forum

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work

Repair or replace in Blandford Forum?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Blandford Forum. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
