Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Thornford
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry

What affects the price in Thornford
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

FAQs for Thornford
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
