- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Penwood
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Penwood and across West Berkshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Repairing versus replacing in Penwood
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
