Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Mintlaw
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Mintlaw
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Mintlaw
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Landlord and trade work in Mintlaw
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Mintlaw, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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 work on in Mintlaw
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
