Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hooke
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Hooke: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work in Hooke?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hooke and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Hooke?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DT8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Honest limits
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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Landlord and trade work in Hooke
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Other services in Hooke
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
