Coloured bath resurfacing in Carlton

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Carlton

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leeds. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When we would advise against a repair

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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Carlton: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Carlton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Carlton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Comparing quotes

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carlton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carlton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leeds and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
