Coloured bath resurfacing for Earley homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Earley

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Earley

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in Earley

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our prices page or bath cost comparison.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we cannot 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Earley

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

Common questions in Earley

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What we are called out for in Earley

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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, normally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price
