How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Plumbley

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Plumbley as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Plumbley: your questions answered

Do you cover Plumbley?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Plumbley and the rest of Sheffield. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Are there extra charges for Plumbley?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Plumbley?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your S20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
