Coloured bath resurfacing in Carmel, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Carmel

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Repair or replace in Carmel?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

For anyone letting property in or around Carmel, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Carmel. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Carmel?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
