Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Thurston and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Thurston
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
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.

FAQs for Thurston
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your IP31 postcode.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Thurston?
We do. Technicians travel to Thurston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
