Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Thornton Steward

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Thornton Steward

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thornton Steward. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Thornton Steward?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
