DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Oaker
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can generally put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Oaker and across Derbyshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Oaker
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Same prices wherever you are
- Work done at your home or business
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Prices and what affects them

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Questions from Oaker
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Oaker?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DE4 postcode.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
