How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Sunnymead

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered 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.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to Sunnymead?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Sunnymead and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How quickly can you book me in?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Landlord and trade work in Sunnymead

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Sunnymead

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Sunnymead. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Sunnymead

  • Colour-matched on site

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Sunnymead

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
