Landlords, agents and businesses in Lathom
If you manage property in Lathom, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Lathom, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lathom?

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common questions in Lathom
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you come to Lathom?
We do. We send a technician to Lathom for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Lathom
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
