Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Faversham
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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, typically ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price

What affects the price in Faversham
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair

What we are called out for in Faversham
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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 Faversham
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Questions from Faversham
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Faversham.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Faversham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
