Coloured bath resurfacing in Oxhill without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.
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: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.

- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire suite
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What we are called out for in Oxhill
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Oxhill: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover Oxhill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Oxhill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Are there extra charges for Oxhill?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
