Coloured bath resurfacing in Oakwood, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

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 without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we are called out for in Oakwood
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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 Oakwood
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What affects the price in Oakwood
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job without visiting.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
