Coloured bath resurfacing near Thornham Fold

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Thornham Fold

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Thornham Fold: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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 any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Are there extra charges for Thornham Fold?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Thornham Fold, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
