Coloured bath resurfacing in Mannington without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Mannington, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Mannington
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Mannington: your questions answered
Do you come to Mannington?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Mannington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.
