Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Holt

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Holt without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Holt and across Dorset. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Landlord and trade work in Holt

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Holt

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Holt included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Holt

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
