What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Thorney. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures 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, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Thorney without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Thorney

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Thorney: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you cover Thorney?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Thorney from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Buckinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
