Coloured bath resurfacing near Hempton

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hempton

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Hempton. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hempton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

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. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Hempton questions

What about the toilet?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Hempton and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you come to Hempton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hempton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
