How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Carlin How
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carlin How
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carlin How as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
