Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Staddiscombe homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Staddiscombe
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Plymouth and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When to call us in Staddiscombe
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
Staddiscombe questions
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.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Staddiscombe.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Staddiscombe
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Everything repaired in place
- One visit for most repairs

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
