Coloured suite to white in Walkley, Sheffield
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white in Walkley, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Walkley without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sheffield. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we are called out for in Walkley
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out 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

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Walkley
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What affects the price in Walkley
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Walkley, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
