Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Thundridge
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Thundridge
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
