How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Kidlington
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kidlington as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

Repair or replace in Kidlington?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Kidlington
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Kidlington included. Travel is included in the price.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What affects the price in Kidlington
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
