Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Grimethorpe
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 frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Barnsley. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Grimethorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
Grimethorpe questions
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the entire of Barnsley?
Everywhere in the UK, Grimethorpe included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Grimethorpe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Grimethorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Work for landlords and builders
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 Grimethorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
When to call us in Grimethorpe
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
