How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Thorne Coffin
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Thorne Coffin
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
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.
Do you come to Thorne Coffin?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Thorne Coffin from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What else we do in Thorne Coffin
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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 will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Thorne Coffin
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Thorne Coffin customers choose us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Common problems we fix in Thorne Coffin
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Landlord and trade work in Thorne Coffin
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
