Coloured bath resurfacing in Corfe without replacing anything
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. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Corfe
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Corfe: your questions answered
Can you do the toilet too?
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?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Corfe
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Corfe

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: 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. Quotes are free and no obligation.
