Coloured bath resurfacing in Oxenholme, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Oxenholme. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Oxenholme

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Oxenholme
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour

Oxenholme questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you come to Oxenholme?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Oxenholme and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
