Coloured bath resurfacing in South Stoke, done in place

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in South Stoke and across Oxfordshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

  • 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
  • Faded or patchy colour

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole suite

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

FAQs for South Stoke

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it messy?

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

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Stoke

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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.
