Coloured bath resurfacing near Thorpefield

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Thorpefield

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Thorpefield get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Thorpefield

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it messy?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you work in Thorpefield?

We do. We send a technician to Thorpefield for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorpefield

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorpefield use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price
