How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price

Related advice
Coloured bath resurfacing in Thornton, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlord and trade work in Thornton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Thornton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
