About our coloured bath resurfacing in Dorchester
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Dorchester
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
What affects the price in Dorchester
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire suite
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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 quote.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Dorchester
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Dorchester. Prices do not change with location.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Dorchester.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
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 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.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dorchester
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing in Dorchester
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dorchester. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Fixed prices from your pictures
