Coloured bath resurfacing for Harrow homes

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Harrow

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Harrow

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Harrow and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Harrow

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Harrow

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Harrow. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you are in Harrow and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from Harrow

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
