Questions from Thorpe Arnold
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Thorpe Arnold?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we can’t put right
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 will give you a straight answer before booking.
