Coloured bath resurfacing in Thornhill without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Torfaen. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Thornhill. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thornhill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Thornhill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.
