- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Whitley Wood get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Whitley Wood
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Reading. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace in Whitley Wood?

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can

Common questions in Whitley Wood
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Reading. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work in Whitley Wood?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Whitley Wood. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitley Wood use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
