Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Carr Bank

Coloured bath resurfacing in Carr Bank without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Carr Bank

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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 next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, 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)

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

Carr Bank: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Carr Bank.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Carr Bank, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
