How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Thakeham

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Thakeham?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Thakeham. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Thakeham

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Questions from Thakeham

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
