Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Thornhill
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thornhill and across Cumbria. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole suite
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Thornhill questions
Do you come to Thornhill?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Thornhill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornhill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairing versus replacing in Thornhill
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
