About our coloured bath resurfacing in Lillington

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lillington and across Dorset. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Lillington questions

Are there extra charges for Lillington?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Lillington, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lillington

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Lillington

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Lillington clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Landlord and trade work in Lillington

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
