Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Thurnby without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thurnby

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

FAQs for Thurnby

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are there extra charges for Thurnby?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Thurnby?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your LE7 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
