Coloured bath resurfacing for Blandford St Mary homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Blandford St Mary without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Blandford St Mary, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DT11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Common problems we fix in Blandford St Mary

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Blandford St Mary

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Blandford St Mary. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Blandford St Mary and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Questions from Blandford St Mary

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
