Coloured suite to white in Yawl, Dorset
Our technicians come to Yawl for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Yawl
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Yawl?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix
We’d 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Yawl?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Yawl. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Yawl use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
