How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Oakerthorpe
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Oakerthorpe: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- One price list for the entire UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
When a repair isn’t the answer
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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Oakerthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakerthorpe as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
When to call us in Oakerthorpe
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
