Coloured suite to white in Balloch, Highland
Local coloured bath resurfacing for Balloch: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Balloch. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Balloch, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage

Repairing versus replacing in Balloch
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Balloch. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Balloch
- Colour-matched on site
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything
See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

What we’re called out for in Balloch
