Coloured bath resurfacing in Carlton, done in place
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Carlton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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 usually the cheaper route.

Questions from Carlton
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Carlton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Carlton
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Same prices wherever you are
- A year’s guarantee on all work
