How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Shillingstone
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shillingstone and across Dorset. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What else we do in Shillingstone
Shillingstone: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
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.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Shillingstone

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What affects the price in Shillingstone
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Shillingstone. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
