Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Hadleigh Heath get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hadleigh Heath

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Hadleigh Heath

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hadleigh Heath as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Hadleigh Heath

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Hadleigh Heath

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

FAQs for Hadleigh Heath

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work in Hadleigh Heath?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Hadleigh Heath from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Hadleigh Heath is covered. Prices do not change with location.
