What affects the price in Thorpeness
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Thorpeness, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Thorpeness
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Thorpeness
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour mixed on the day to match

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays

FAQs for Thorpeness
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Thorpeness.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
