How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Thoresby

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. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Thoresby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Thoresby. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in Thoresby get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Thoresby

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Thoresby

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DL8 postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
