How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Oxton
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Oxton
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Oxton. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Oxton, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common problems we fix in Oxton
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Comparing quotes
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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)

What we work on

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Oxton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Oxton
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Oxton questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of the Scottish Borders. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
