Coloured bath resurfacing in Melbury Osmond, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
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.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works
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’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Melbury Osmond. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Melbury Osmond questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Melbury Osmond.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Everywhere in the UK, Melbury Osmond included. Travel is included in the price.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Melbury Osmond. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
