Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Whirlow homes
We travel to Whirlow for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Whirlow
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Whirlow. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. 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 prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Landlord and trade work in Whirlow
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Sheffield and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Questions from Whirlow
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Sheffield.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
