Coloured suite to white in Adlington, Lancashire
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white at your home in Adlington, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Adlington. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing typically 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
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Adlington, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Adlington without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Adlington
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Adlington questions
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
When to call us in Adlington
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
