When to call us in Barkway
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Barkway
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Barkway

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job without visiting.
Barkway: your questions answered
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
