About our coloured bath resurfacing in Shinfield
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we are called out for in Shinfield
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work 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.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Repair or replace in Shinfield?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before you book

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Shinfield questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
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.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Shinfield. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shinfield
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
