Coloured bath resurfacing in Branksome

Branksome questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you come to Branksome?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Branksome and the rest of Poole. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Branksome

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare 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, normally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Branksome. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Branksome

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Branksome

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Branksome as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Branksome

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
