About our coloured bath resurfacing in Darnall
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Darnall
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- 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.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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.
Repair or replace in Darnall?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Darnall
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Sheffield and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Questions from Darnall
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you cover the whole of Sheffield?
The entire UK, including all of Sheffield. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Darnall.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
