Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Bunwell
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Bunwell?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Bunwell
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. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Bunwell

FAQs for Bunwell
Do you work in Bunwell?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bunwell and the rest of Norfolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Bunwell?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
What affects the price in Bunwell
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

- 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
