Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Carbost
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can usually put it right, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Carbost and across Highland. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Carbost. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Carbost
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.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Carbost questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
