Coloured bath resurfacing in Thorley Street

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

If you’re in Thorley Street and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Thorley Street

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace in Thorley Street?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thorley Street. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it

  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Thorley Street questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you come to Thorley Street?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Thorley Street for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
