Coloured suite to white in Tilehurst Within, Reading
Our technicians come to Tilehurst Within for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Tilehurst Within
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Tilehurst Within. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RG30 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- 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 next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

FAQs for Tilehurst Within
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means 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. A few things move the price: 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.
