Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Thornthwaite, done in place
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Thornthwaite
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HG3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What else we do in Thornthwaite
Landlord and trade work in Thornthwaite
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace in Thornthwaite?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Thornthwaite. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
