Coloured bath resurfacing in Wimborne St Giles without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Wimborne St Giles
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. 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
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
