How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Oxclose
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Oxclose, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE38 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
