Coloured suite to white in Carnforth, Lancashire

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Carnforth
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair
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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Carnforth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LA5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Carnforth
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
