Coloured Bath Resurfacing for West Shilvinghampton homes
We travel to West Shilvinghampton for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Coloured bath resurfacing in West Shilvinghampton without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in West Shilvinghampton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including West Shilvinghampton. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
