Coloured suite to white in Shaw Lands, Barnsley
We travel to Shaw Lands for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Shaw Lands
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Barnsley. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Shaw Lands?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Shaw Lands
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your S70 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
Other services in Shaw Lands
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When to call us in Shaw Lands
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
