FAQs for Fontmell Magna

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you come to Fontmell Magna?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Fontmell Magna. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Fontmell Magna

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Fontmell Magna?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Fontmell Magna

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Honest limits

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
