Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Miltown homes
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white in Miltown, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Coloured bath resurfacing in Miltown, done in place
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Miltown questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Repairing versus replacing in Miltown
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Miltown
- A fixed quote before you book
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No need to remove anything
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
Take a look at our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Miltown?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
