What we are called out for in Balgreen
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Balgreen
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Balgreen get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairing versus replacing in Balgreen
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Balgreen
- Work done at your home or business
- Same prices wherever you are
- No need to remove anything
- Generally one visit, start to finish
See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
