About our coloured bath resurfacing in Shaw
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What else we do in Shaw
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Shaw. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole suite
For a price in Shaw, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
When to call us in Shaw
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Common questions in Shaw
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover the whole of West Berkshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Shaw included. Travel is included in the price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
