About our coloured bath resurfacing in Townsend
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What else we do in Townsend
Townsend questions
Do you work in Townsend?
We do. Technicians travel to Townsend from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Townsend get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
