DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Dallinghoo, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dallinghoo. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Dallinghoo questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Dallinghoo is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
