About our coloured bath resurfacing in Kings Cross
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we are called out for in Kings Cross
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Repair or replace in Kings Cross?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Kings Cross
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Kings Cross. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Kings Cross: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you cover Kings Cross?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Kings Cross and the rest of Greater London. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kings Cross use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
