Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in Sandford-on-Thames
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Repairing versus replacing in Sandford-on-Thames
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Sandford-on-Thames
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour-matched on site

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
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.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
