Landlord and trade work in Spring Cottage
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Spring Cottage, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Spring Cottage?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Spring Cottage
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it
- No need to remove anything
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Spring Cottage. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire suite
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Questions from Spring Cottage
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Spring Cottage included. Travel is included in the price.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
What we are called out for in Spring Cottage
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
