Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Repairing versus replacing in Thorns Beach
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Thorns Beach get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
