Coloured bath resurfacing in Stapleton without replacing anything
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 faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Stapleton?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Stapleton
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Stapleton: your questions answered
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Stapleton.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stapleton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stapleton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stapleton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
