Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Knighton
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Knighton
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Knighton. Prices do not change with location.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you come to Knighton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Knighton and the rest of Bournemouth. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Knighton?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What else we do in Knighton
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in Knighton
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Knighton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
What affects the price in Knighton
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BH11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
