Our repair technicians come to Sprig's Alley for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Sprig's Alley
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
In a village or hamlet like Sprig's Alley, homes are often older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Repairing in place avoids that.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sprig's Alley and across Oxfordshire. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Sprig's Alley
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. For a rural home like those around Sprig's Alley, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oxfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it. Somewhere as small as Sprig's Alley, access is generally the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the coloured bath resurfacing works exactly as anywhere else.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
