Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Oakford homes
We travel to Oakford for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Coloured bath resurfacing in Oakford without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Oakford
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you come to Oakford?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Oakford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Oakford
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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.

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
