Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Thurlaston

What affects the price in Thurlaston

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Thurlaston, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Thurlaston and across Leicestershire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlord and trade work in Thurlaston

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
