Coloured bath resurfacing in Kettlestone without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Kettlestone
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your photos

Kettlestone questions
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
