Coloured bath resurfacing near Paynes Green

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Paynes Green

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

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Paynes Green

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Paynes Green get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Paynes Green

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Paynes Green

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Paynes Green

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
