Coloured bath resurfacing in Mystole

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Questions from Mystole

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Mystole and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you come to Mystole?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Mystole and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Repairing versus replacing in Mystole

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Mystole

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Mystole

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Mystole?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
