Coloured suite to white in Ockley, Surrey
Our repair technicians come to Ockley for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Ockley
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Ockley
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.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Ockley
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
