Covering Oxford

Oxford is in Oxfordshire. We travel to homes and businesses in Oxford and the surrounding area, so you don’t need to take anything anywhere. Oxford is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. We work right across the region, from Oxford to London (52 miles away).

Our visits in OX4, OX3, OX2 and OX1 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. We regularly work on streets such as High Street, New High Street and Radcliffe Square and the roads around them. Oxford is on the A34 and A40, so it’s easy for us to reach. Close by, we cover St Clement's (1 mile west), Headington Hill (1 mile north-east), New Marston (1 mile north), Donnington (1 mile south) and St. Ebbes (1 mile west). We also work in nearby towns such as Didcot (10 miles south), Bicester (11 miles north), Abingdon-on-Thames (6 miles south-west), Witney (11 miles west), Thame (11 miles east) and Wantage (14 miles south-west).

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Oxford

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Oxford

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work in Oxford?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Oxford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Oxford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Repairing versus replacing in Oxford

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Oxford clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
