Coloured suite to white in Grove, Nottinghamshire
Our technicians come to Grove for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Grove
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. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Grove
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Common questions in Grove
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Common problems we fix in Grove
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- 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
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
