Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Upper Upnor homes
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white in Upper Upnor, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Upper Upnor, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Coloured bath resurfacing in Upper Upnor without replacing anything
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Upper Upnor
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Upper Upnor
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Upper Upnor
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Upper Upnor
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Upnor as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
