Repair or replace in Rise Carr?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Everything repaired in place

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite 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.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire suite
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Rise Carr get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common problems we fix in Rise Carr
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Common questions in Rise Carr
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Rise Carr and the rest of Darlington. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Rise Carr?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
