About our coloured bath resurfacing in North Elmsall

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

North Elmsall: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you work in North Elmsall?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to North Elmsall from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Common problems we fix in North Elmsall

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

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in North Elmsall, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Elmsall

For anyone letting property in or around North Elmsall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
