Coloured bath resurfacing in Netherhay without replacing anything
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Netherhay: your questions answered
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work in Netherhay?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Netherhay. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Netherhay use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
What we’re called out for in Netherhay
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if they find more damage
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
