Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Blackbird Leys
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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)

Repairing versus replacing in Blackbird Leys
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Work done at your home or business

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackbird Leys use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common questions in Blackbird Leys
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you come to Blackbird Leys?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Blackbird Leys and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
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.
- We clean, degrease and repair any 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
