Coloured bath resurfacing in Carleton, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no 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 faded or patchy colour, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Carleton
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Carleton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carleton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Carleton
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Carleton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CA4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Carleton
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Carleton. Prices do not change with location.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Carleton?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Honest limits
Before you book, 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
