Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Melling
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Melling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When to call us in Melling
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Melling
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Melling. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Melling
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Generally one visit, start to finish

When a repair isn’t 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
Questions from Melling
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
