Coloured suite to white in Oare, West Berkshire
We travel to Oare for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Coloured bath resurfacing in Oare, done in place
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
In a village or hamlet like Oare, homes are frequently older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Some have heavy cast iron baths or tight bathrooms, and removing a bath from an older house is rarely simple. Repairing in place avoids that.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. In a village or hamlet like Oare, access can be the only tricky part. Once we’re there, the coloured bath resurfacing works exactly as anywhere else.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repair or replace in Oare?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Replacement in Oare means trades, travel and waste removal, while coloured bath resurfacing is one trip.
Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oare as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common problems we fix in Oare
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Church of St Bartholomew, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.
