Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Handsworth
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

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.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Handsworth
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Handsworth?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S13 postcode.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work in Handsworth?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Handsworth and the rest of Sheffield. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Handsworth. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Handsworth as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
