Coloured bath resurfacing for Cann homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Cann

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cann. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cann

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Choosing a repair company

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Common questions in Cann

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Cann?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SP7 postcode.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Cann. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

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.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
