Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Sonning Common
We travel to Sonning Common for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why Sonning Common customers choose us
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Sonning Common
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Sonning Common
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Sonning Common and the rest of Reading. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sonning Common
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Reading and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
