Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Carkeel. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Same prices wherever you are
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Carkeel
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Carkeel
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What affects the price in Carkeel
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carkeel
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
