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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Cerne Abbas

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Cerne Abbas?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350.

  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Cerne Abbas

If you manage property in Cerne Abbas, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
