Coloured bath resurfacing in Carndu without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

FAQs for Carndu

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Carndu included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Carndu?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

What happens after I send pictures?

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Repair or replace in Carndu?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Carndu customers choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlord and trade work in Carndu

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Carndu, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Carndu

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
