Coloured bath resurfacing in Thorpe, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Thorpe and the surrounding area
Thorpe is about 11 miles east of Louth, in Lincolnshire. We work in every kind of home, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, plus businesses and rented homes. Thorpe is one of 732 towns and villages in Lincolnshire we cover.
We work across LN12 and the streets around it. You will find streets such as Main Street and Mile Lane, all of which we cover. If you are just outside Thorpe, we cover Trusthorpe (1 mile north-east), Sutton on Sea (1 mile south-east), Mablethorpe (2 miles north), Sandilands (2 miles south-east) and Maltby le Marsh (2 miles west). Further out, we also cover Louth (11 miles west), Skegness (12 miles south), Spilsby (12 miles south-west), Alford (5 miles south-west), Chapel St Leonards (7 miles south-east) and Burgh le Marsh (11 miles south).
Near you in Thorpe
We visit homes around Church of St Peter, among other places. Other landmarks nearby include Alford and District War Memorial Cottage Hospital (5.3 miles south-west).
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorpe
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Thorpe
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Thorpe?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Thorpe, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
