Advice
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Dallow
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dallow as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Dallow
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One price list for the whole UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we are called out for in Dallow
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.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
