Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Thorney Close
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thorney Close and across Sunderland. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Thorney Close
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work in Thorney Close?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Thorney Close from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Landlord and trade work in Thorney Close
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SR3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
