Coloured bath resurfacing near Fortuneswell

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Fortuneswell customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Fortuneswell

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
