About our coloured bath resurfacing in Colney Butts
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Colney Butts?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to look after the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently 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 the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colney Butts as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
