What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in New Town
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in New Town
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Town
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
FAQs for New Town
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
We cover the entire UK, including New Town and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BH21 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
