Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white in Pettinain, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Pettinain
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Pettinain
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Landlord and trade work in Pettinain
For anyone letting property in or around Pettinain, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, 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.

Pettinain questions
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
