Coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Row

Can I fix it myself?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Row, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Row

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Lower Row

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Lower Row and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area

Questions from Lower Row

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Lower Row and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays
