About our coloured bath resurfacing in Cane End

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Reading. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Cane End

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Cane End. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Cane End clients choose us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Questions from Cane End

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Cane End?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
