What affects the price in London Docklands
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Coloured bath resurfacing in London Docklands, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole 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 London Docklands
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Usually one visit, start to finish
See our prices page or bath cost comparison.
When a repair isn’t the answer
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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy.
- 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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in London Docklands, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in London Docklands
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in London Docklands?
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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
