What affects the price in Lindale

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire suite

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Lindale, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Lindale

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
