How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Slack
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Slack questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
When to call us in Slack
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Common reasons people in Slack contact us are:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Comparing quotes
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Slack, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Slack
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Slack
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We leave the room as we found it

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Slack, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Slack
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
