Coloured suite to white in Stainborough, Barnsley
Coloured bath resurfacing across Stainborough and nearby, typically in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Stainborough
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stainborough as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Stainborough
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you cover the whole of Barnsley?
Everywhere in the UK, Stainborough included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Stainborough.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover Stainborough?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Stainborough and the rest of Barnsley. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we’re called out for in Stainborough
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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Stainborough, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
