Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Horncastle
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Reading. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. 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 Horncastle customers choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Same prices wherever you are

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Do you come to Horncastle?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Horncastle for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
