Coloured bath resurfacing in Thurnham, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What affects the price in Thurnham

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Thurnham

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Thurnham included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you work in Thurnham?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Thurnham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Thurnham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
