What affects the price in Hartgrove
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hartgrove, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Hartgrove, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Hartgrove
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work in Hartgrove?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hartgrove from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What areas do you cover?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Repair or replace in Hartgrove?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
