What affects the price in Child Okeford
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Child Okeford questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Child Okeford?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DT11 postcode.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Common problems we fix in Child Okeford

- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
