What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BB12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Thorney Holme

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thorney Holme as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Thorney Holme questions

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BB12 postcode.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Common problems we fix in Thorney Holme

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Customers normally contact us about:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thorney Holme. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair can’t 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.

Materials we work on in Thorney Holme

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
