About our coloured bath resurfacing in Dunkeswell
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Dunkeswell and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunkeswell
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Dunkeswell
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Landlord and trade work in Dunkeswell
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Dunkeswell
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Dunkeswell. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, 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.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
