About our coloured bath resurfacing in Thornage

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Peace of mind is built in: 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornage

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornage as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Thornage

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is my repair covered?

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

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Thornage?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
