About our coloured bath resurfacing in Gallowstree Common
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gallowstree Common and across Reading. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Gallowstree Common
For anyone letting property in or around Gallowstree Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Gallowstree Common. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One visit for most repairs
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Common questions in Gallowstree Common
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you work in Gallowstree Common?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Gallowstree Common from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Gallowstree Common?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
