Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Barrow Hill
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Across the UK, and that includes Barrow Hill. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Repair or replace in Barrow Hill?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Barrow Hill
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
Take a look at our prices page and bath cost comparison.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
When to call us in Barrow Hill
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Look out for these signs:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Barrow Hill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
