About our coloured bath resurfacing in New Hinksey
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
FAQs for New Hinksey
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover New Hinksey?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to New Hinksey and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for New Hinksey. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
