When to call us in Reading Street

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Before you book anyone

Landlord and trade work in Reading Street

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Reading Street?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
