How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Teston
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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 booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Teston
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Same prices wherever you are

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Teston
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I add another job to the 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’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Teston?

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Teston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
