What affects the price in Sturminster Marshall
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Sturminster Marshall without replacing anything
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Sturminster Marshall
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

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

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
