Coloured Bath Resurfacing for South Reston homes
Local coloured bath resurfacing for South Reston: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in South Reston
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Reston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What affects the price in South Reston
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to South Reston. The price comes down to:

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for South Reston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in South Reston, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from South Reston
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in South Reston?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your LN11 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Do you come to South Reston?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to South Reston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
