Coloured bath resurfacing near Thornham Parva

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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 day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Thornham Parva

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Thornham Parva. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Thornham Parva

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Thornham Parva included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our pricing and bath cost comparison.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
