Oxbridge: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Are there extra charges for Oxbridge?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Oxbridge?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Oxbridge, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Oxbridge and across Middlesbrough. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Oxbridge

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Oxbridge. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Oxbridge

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Repair or replace in Oxbridge?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Oxbridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
