Coloured bath resurfacing in Thrumpton, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thrumpton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thrumpton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace in Thrumpton?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Common problems we fix in Thrumpton

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

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

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
