Coloured bath resurfacing in Dilham, done in place
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Dilham questions
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire suite
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Dilham
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What else we do in Dilham
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
