Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for North Chideock. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in North Chideock
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

FAQs for North Chideock
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
