Coloured bath resurfacing in Tollerford

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 changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Tollerford

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

FAQs for Tollerford

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you come to Tollerford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Tollerford and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What affects the price in Tollerford

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tollerford

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common problems we fix in Tollerford

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
