Coloured bath resurfacing in Swinbrook, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Swinbrook

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Swinbrook

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

FAQs for Swinbrook

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Swinbrook and the rest of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves 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.

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
