Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is the work guaranteed?

What else we do in Carr Houses
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Carr Houses. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Carr Houses
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Typically one visit, start to finish

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Carr Houses, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Common problems we fix in Carr Houses
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Comparing quotes

- Whether they match the colour on site
