Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Sturminster Newton without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Sturminster Newton: your questions answered
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sturminster Newton. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sturminster Newton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
When to call us in Sturminster Newton
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- 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
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
