Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Sulham homes
Local coloured bath resurfacing for Sulham: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Sulham
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Sulham questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Oxfordshire.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Sulham included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sulham. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Sulham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Sulham
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 typically cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Sulham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
When we’d advise against a repair
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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.
- 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 next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
