Landlords, agents and businesses in Darton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Darton

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Darton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you come to Darton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Darton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you cover the whole of Barnsley?

The entire UK, including all of Barnsley. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Darton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Darton

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.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • 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

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Darton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Darton customers choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
