DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Herstmonceux
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Same prices wherever you are

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Herstmonceux
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of East Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Herstmonceux?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BN27 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
