How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Thornham
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 usually the cheaper route.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually.

- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Thornham: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What affects the price in Thornham
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Thornham. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
