- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Related advice
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Lake
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Lake
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Lake is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What affects the price in Lake
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Also in Lake
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lake use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Lake, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lake
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
