When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Thornhills

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Thornhills
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Thornhills and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornhills as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote

Questions from Thornhills
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Thornhills?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
