Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Carfin without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Carfin. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Carfin. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we’re called out for in Carfin

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Carfin

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
