Coloured bath resurfacing near Chalgrove

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why Chalgrove clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Chalgrove

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Chalgrove

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When to call us in Chalgrove

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Chalgrove

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chalgrove as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Chalgrove. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
