Coloured bath resurfacing for Thurlaston homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Thurlaston, done in place

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Thurlaston: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

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 with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Thurlaston

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Thurlaston. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Thurlaston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we are called out for in Thurlaston

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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, generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
