Coloured suite to white in Harpsden, Oxfordshire
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Harpsden. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Harpsden
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
When can you do it?

Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
