Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Shillingford Abbot
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Shillingford Abbot. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shillingford Abbot. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
