About our coloured bath resurfacing in Horspath

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Horspath and across Oxfordshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Horspath. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Horspath

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you work in Horspath?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?

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

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key 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, typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
