Coloured suite to white in Shiplake Cross, Oxfordshire
We travel to Shiplake Cross for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Shiplake Cross
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Shiplake Cross. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shiplake Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos 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.
Shiplake Cross questions
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you cover Shiplake Cross?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shiplake Cross and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are there extra charges for Shiplake Cross?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
All of Oxfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
