DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Forncett St Mary, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Forncett St Mary as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Forncett St Mary
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Faded or patchy colour

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How soon can you come?

Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
