Coloured bath resurfacing in Caversham Park Village without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Our hiring checklist

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Caversham Park Village questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Caversham Park Village.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are there extra charges for Caversham Park Village?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, 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)

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

If you manage property in Caversham Park Village, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Caversham Park Village. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Caversham Park Village clients choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
