How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lobley Hill
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What else we do in Lobley Hill
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Lobley Hill
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Lobley Hill
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it

Lobley Hill questions
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you come to Lobley Hill?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lobley Hill and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lobley Hill
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Look out for these signs:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lobley Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
