Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Steeple Barton
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Steeple Barton
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Steeple Barton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
