Coloured bath resurfacing in Thornton Curtis without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in Thornton Curtis and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t 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’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites

What we are called out for in Thornton Curtis

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Thornton Curtis. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure 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.

Landlord and trade work in Thornton Curtis

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Thornton Curtis, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

FAQs for Thornton Curtis

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
