Coloured bath resurfacing in Thorn without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace in Thorn?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
Common problems we fix in Thorn
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Thorn
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Central Bedfordshire.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Are there extra charges for Thorn?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
