How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Harcourt Hill
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Harcourt Hill
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Harcourt Hill. Prices don’t change with location.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your OX2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Harcourt Hill. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Harcourt Hill get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Harcourt Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

More services for Harcourt Hill
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Harcourt Hill?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
