How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ickham
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Ickham
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

What affects the price in Ickham
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ickham, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Ickham
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your photos

Questions from Ickham
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Are there extra charges for Ickham?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
For anyone letting property in or around Ickham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
