Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Reading
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 avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.

FAQs for Reading

Yes. The technician needs access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you come to Reading?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Reading and the rest of Wokingham. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Should I repair or replace?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you protect the room?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Usually the same day or the next, depending on the job. We’ll tell you the curing time before we leave.
