About our coloured bath resurfacing in Birdwell
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Birdwell
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Barnsley.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Birdwell?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit
Read our pricing and bath cost comparison.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t 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 will give you a straight answer.
