Newnham questions
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Newnham
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newnham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace in Newnham?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Newnham
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Newnham and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
