How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Charminster
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Charminster
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DT2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions from Charminster
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.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Charminster?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
