Coloured bath resurfacing in Saxtead Green, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Saxtead Green

Common questions in Saxtead Green
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Common problems we fix in Saxtead Green
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Saxtead Green, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
