Coloured bath resurfacing in Thursby, done in place

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Thursby

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Thursby questions

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

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 typically the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
