  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour

  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Calder Grove?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Calder Grove

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
