Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Gaunt's Common

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Gaunt's Common

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Gaunt's Common

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Gaunt's Common

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed quote.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Gaunt's Common?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gaunt's Common

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 carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace in Gaunt's Common?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our full price list and bath cost comparison.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
