About our coloured bath resurfacing in Dittisham

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 selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Dittisham, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

  • Faded or patchy colour

How to compare quotes

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repair or replace in Dittisham?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Dittisham

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlord and trade work in Dittisham

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dittisham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
