About our coloured bath resurfacing in Lady
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Lady and nearby
Lady is about 24 miles north-east of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. From the centre of Lady to the outlying streets, the service is the same: a fixed price, a tidy visit and a guarantee. Lady is one of 51 towns and villages in the Orkney Islands we cover.

Other places close to Lady include Broughtown (2 miles west), Wardhill (10 miles south), Pierowall (16 miles west), Rackwick (16 miles west) and Brinian (18 miles south-west). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Lady

What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Lady

Lady questions
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
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.
Do you cover Lady?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Lady. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are there extra charges for Lady?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
