About our coloured bath resurfacing in Whitmore

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Whitmore

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Do you come to Whitmore?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Whitmore for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Whitmore and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Whitmore, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Whitmore

Replacing a coloured suite 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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

When a repair isn’t the answer

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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
