Advice
Coloured bath resurfacing in Holborn, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Holborn and across Greater London. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Holborn
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Holborn. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole suite
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Holborn, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Holborn
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
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 before the end of a tenancy.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Landlord and trade work in Holborn
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Holborn
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Holborn
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Same prices wherever you are

What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 before you book.
