Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Carr Mill
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Carr Mill. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WA11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Carr Mill: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Carr Mill?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What else we do in Carr Mill
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- No need to remove anything
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
See our full price list and bath cost comparison.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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.
