Coloured bath resurfacing in Oaks Tye

Coloured bath resurfacing in Oaks Tye, done in place

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Oaks Tye, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Oaks Tye

  • Whole bathroom suites

  • Coloured basins

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Oaks Tye
