What we are called out for in Thornes
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Thornes
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Thornes
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
If you’re in Thornes and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Questions from Thornes
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover Thornes?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Thornes for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Landlord and trade work in Thornes
If you manage property in Thornes, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
