About our coloured bath resurfacing in Thornton
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Thornton and across Lancashire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Thornton: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
When can you do it?

I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
