Coloured bath resurfacing in Ladywell without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Lothian. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Ladywell: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you come to Ladywell?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ladywell and the rest of West Lothian. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover the whole of West Lothian?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Ladywell. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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.

What else we do in Ladywell
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Ladywell, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ladywell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Ladywell

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
