About our coloured bath resurfacing in Burghfield Bridge

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Burghfield Bridge

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What areas do you cover?

All of Reading, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Are there extra charges for Burghfield Bridge?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Burghfield Bridge

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Burghfield Bridge

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Burghfield Bridge. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Burghfield Bridge?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

In fairness, 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
