About our coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Caversham
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Lower Caversham?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: 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.

Common questions in Lower Caversham
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Reading, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What we cannot put right

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
