How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Carleton
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Carleton as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Carleton. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Carleton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One picture of the whole suite
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Carleton
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you come to Carleton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Carleton and the rest of Lancashire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Lancashire.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
