Coloured bath resurfacing in Thorpe on the Hill without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Thorpe on the Hill
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lincolnshire.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What we are called out for in Thorpe on the Hill
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Thorpe on the Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What affects the price in Thorpe on the Hill
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

- 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
