Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Tackley homes
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Tackley and the surrounding area, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Tackley, done in place
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Tackley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Tackley
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- How to look after the finish
- How long it needs to cure
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Tackley
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Tackley
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
