Coloured bath resurfacing near Dorchester

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Dorchester

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Dorchester

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, 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.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
