Coloured bath resurfacing in Stairfoot, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Stairfoot

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Stairfoot and the rest of Barnsley. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

When to call us in Stairfoot

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for these signs:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Stairfoot

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

Should you replace it?

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. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

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

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos
