Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Stoke Abbott

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Stoke Abbott

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Stoke Abbott?

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • 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

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Stoke Abbott, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Stoke Abbott

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Do you cover Stoke Abbott?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Stoke Abbott from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Stoke Abbott and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Stoke Abbott. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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

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

Repairing versus replacing in Stoke Abbott

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
