A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Cargo
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Cargo customers choose us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Cargo: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you come to Cargo?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cargo for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Cargo?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cargo. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
