Coloured bath resurfacing for Carlton homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Carlton

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Carlton and across Leicestershire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Carlton

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole suite

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

How to compare quotes

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Carlton

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

When a repair is not the answer

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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Carlton

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
