Coloured suite to white in Coombe, Greater London
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Coombe and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coombe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Coombe
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Coombe
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.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
Repairing versus replacing in Coombe
Replacing a coloured suite 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Coombe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Coombe
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Coombe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare

- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
