Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in North Fringe of Bristol

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in North Fringe of Bristol

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in North Fringe of Bristol, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in North Fringe of Bristol

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for these signs:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor in North Fringe of Bristol

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
