Coloured suite to white in Carluke, South Lanarkshire

- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Carluke
- We leave the room as we found it
- No need to remove anything

- One price list for the whole UK

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Carluke
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Carluke
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it 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 typically the cheaper route.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
