10 questions to ask before you book

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Great Carlton

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths 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 job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. 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.

Why Great Carlton clients choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Common questions in Great Carlton

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
