How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Sandbank
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Sandbank
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Sandbank
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandbank
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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 booking.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
