Coloured bath resurfacing for Thornbury homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Thornbury

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Choosing a repair company

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Thornbury. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thornbury. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Thornbury get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

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

FAQs for Thornbury

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Thornbury

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Thornbury

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
