Coloured bath resurfacing in Okeford Fitzpaine, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

In a village like Okeford Fitzpaine, some baths have been in for many years. If the bath is sound, coloured bath resurfacing gives it a new lease of life without disturbing the rest of the room.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Okeford Fitzpaine and across Dorset. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Okeford Fitzpaine questions

Can you restore the original coloured suites in an older house in Okeford Fitzpaine?

Frequently, yes: original pieces are typically worth keeping. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.

Will you travel to Okeford Fitzpaine?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Okeford Fitzpaine?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

For older houses around Okeford Fitzpaine, near landmarks such as Parish Church of St Andrew, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Replacement in Okeford Fitzpaine means trades, travel and waste removal, while coloured bath resurfacing is one trip.

Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our Prices page And Guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Okeford Fitzpaine

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Okeford Fitzpaine

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on. In a village or hamlet like Okeford Fitzpaine, access can be the only tricky part. Once we are there, the coloured bath resurfacing works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
