Coloured bath resurfacing in Abbeydale, done in place

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Abbeydale and across Sheffield. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Abbeydale

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Abbeydale?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Abbeydale

  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays

Landlord and trade work in Abbeydale

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abbeydale use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Abbeydale

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Our hiring checklist

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Abbeydale, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Abbeydale. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire suite

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Abbeydale clients choose us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Everything repaired in place
