Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in The Green
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in The Green and across Cumbria. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair
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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
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 quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Repair or replace in The Green?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for The Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in The Green
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The Green questions
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
