What we are called out for in Pingewood
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
Coloured bath resurfacing in Pingewood, done in place
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Pingewood
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you cover Pingewood?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Pingewood. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Reading.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Pingewood
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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.
