Coloured bath resurfacing in Burngreave without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sheffield. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

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.

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 normally the cheaper route.

Questions from Burngreave

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Burngreave is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Landlord and trade work in Burngreave

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Burngreave

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Burngreave. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Burngreave. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Common problems we fix in Burngreave

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
