About our coloured bath resurfacing in Charmouth
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Charmouth and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Charmouth: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Charmouth?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Landlord and trade work in Charmouth
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.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What else we do in Charmouth
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repair or replace in Charmouth?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
