Need coloured bath resurfacing in Thornton Hough?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Thornton Hough

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Thornton Hough questions

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you come to Thornton Hough?

We do. Technicians travel to Thornton Hough from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What affects the price in Thornton Hough

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Thornton Hough. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornton Hough

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornton Hough use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why repair rather than replace?

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
