What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Foals Green
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Foals Green questions
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Foals Green. Prices do not change with location.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What else we do in Foals Green
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. 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. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Foals Green

Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When to call us in Foals Green
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
