Thornhill: your questions answered
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Thornhill without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire suite
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you don’t 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Thornhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
