Coloured bath resurfacing in Headington

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Headington

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Headington questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Headington and the rest of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Headington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Headington, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we are called out for in Headington

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

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 is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
