Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Thursden homes
We travel to Thursden for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350

- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Thursden
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thursden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
