Coloured bath resurfacing in Sparry Bottom without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Sparry Bottom
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you cover Sparry Bottom?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Sparry Bottom from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
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.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Common problems we fix in Sparry Bottom
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who turns up on the day
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
