About our coloured bath resurfacing in Dobcross
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 coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Dobcross and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in Dobcross
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Dobcross. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode

- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. 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.
Common questions in Dobcross
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What areas do you cover?

Common problems we fix in Dobcross
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- 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
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
