Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Bolam

Coloured bath resurfacing in Bolam without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Bolam
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
- How the colour is matched
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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)

What affects the price in Bolam
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Bolam. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bolam. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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 price, not an estimate.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DL2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Bolam
- Colour-matched on site
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Bolam: your questions answered
Do you come to Bolam?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bolam and the rest of Darlington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
