Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Up Hatherley
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Up Hatherley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- 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
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Up Hatherley
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
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, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Up Hatherley questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work in Up Hatherley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Up Hatherley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
