Coloured bath resurfacing in Carleton without replacing anything
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What else we do in Carleton
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Common problems we fix in Carleton
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Carleton. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

FAQs for Carleton
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
