About our coloured bath resurfacing in Staincross

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Staincross

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Barnsley and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Staincross questions

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
