Coloured bath resurfacing in Hermitage, done in place
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hermitage and across West Berkshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Hermitage
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hermitage. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hermitage
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Repair or replace in Hermitage?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
