About our coloured bath resurfacing in Christchurch
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. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Christchurch questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Christchurch
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Newport and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage

Repairing versus replacing in Christchurch
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Christchurch

What affects the price in Christchurch
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Christchurch. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Christchurch
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- 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
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
