About coloured bath resurfacing in Reading

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Pricing in Reading

Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Reading. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Reading, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Reading

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Reading use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we are called out for in Reading

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour
