About our coloured bath resurfacing in Minterne Magna

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Minterne Magna

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Minterne Magna

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Minterne Magna. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Minterne Magna. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

Landlord and trade work in Minterne Magna

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. 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 in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DT2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
