About our coloured bath resurfacing in Thorley
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Thorley
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thorley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Thorley clients choose us
- One visit for most repairs
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A fixed quote before you book
