Coloured bath resurfacing for Milkwall homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Milkwall

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Milkwall: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you come to Milkwall?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Milkwall and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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 generally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Milkwall

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Milkwall

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Milkwall use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Repairing versus replacing in Milkwall

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Milkwall

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the entire UK
