About our coloured bath resurfacing in Chetnole

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Chetnole and across Dorset. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Chetnole

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 cover Chetnole?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Chetnole from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you accredited?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Repairing versus replacing in Chetnole

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Chetnole

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Chetnole. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Chetnole?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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