DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Shafton
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Barnsley. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Do you work in Shafton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shafton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price

When to call us in Shafton
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What affects the price in Shafton
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Shafton. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
