Coloured bath resurfacing in Thornhill

What affects the price in Thornhill

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Thornhill. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in Thornhill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Thornhill

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Thornhill questions

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are there extra charges for Thornhill?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Landlord and trade work in Thornhill

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Thornhill

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Common reasons people in Thornhill contact us are:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
