Coloured bath resurfacing for Oakley homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Oakley, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Oakley?

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.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Oakley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Oakley: your questions answered

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL52 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Are you accredited?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you come to Oakley?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Oakley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
