About our coloured bath resurfacing in Carrick Knowe
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Carrick Knowe
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s 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 will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Carrick Knowe: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When to call us in Carrick Knowe
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- One price list for the whole UK

What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

For landlords and businesses
