Coloured bath resurfacing in Thornholme

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Thornholme

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Choosing a repair company

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Thornholme

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Thornholme: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Thornholme?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price
