Coloured bath resurfacing for Goldthorpe homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Goldthorpe

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Goldthorpe and across Barnsley. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Goldthorpe

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Goldthorpe customers choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

For anyone letting property in or around Goldthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Goldthorpe

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

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

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

When to call us in Goldthorpe

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for these signs:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Goldthorpe. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole suite

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your S63 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

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

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
