Coloured bath resurfacing in Thurlstone without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Thurlstone
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Landlord and trade work in Thurlstone
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Thurlstone
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Thurlstone customers choose us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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.
Materials we work on in Thurlstone
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Thurlstone. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Thurlstone, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
