Common questions in Freethorpe
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover Freethorpe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Freethorpe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Freethorpe
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Freethorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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 will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Freethorpe
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
