DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Carlton
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Carlton?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Carlton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
FAQs for Carlton
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are there extra charges for Carlton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
