Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Trent homes
Our technicians come to Trent for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Trent without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Trent

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material 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.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Trent

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses can’t 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.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Trent, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Trent questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Trent?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you cover Trent?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Trent. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Trent?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Common problems we fix in Trent
