How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Thornsett
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Thornsett
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
When to call us in Thornsett
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Landlord and trade work in Thornsett
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairing versus replacing in Thornsett
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Thornsett: your questions answered
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you come to Thornsett?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Thornsett. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
