Coloured bath resurfacing for Netherbury homes

Netherbury: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Netherbury without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Netherbury?

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Netherbury

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

See our full price list or bath cost comparison.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

If you manage property in Netherbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
