Coloured bath resurfacing in New Oscott, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

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.

Honest limits

In fairness, 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.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in New Oscott

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for New Oscott. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Our hiring checklist

New Oscott questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in New Oscott?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
