Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Hollesley
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white at your home in Hollesley, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t 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.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Hollesley without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite 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.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Hollesley. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Hollesley
- One price list for the whole UK
