Repairing versus replacing in Upwey
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Upwey. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Upwey
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Coloured bath resurfacing in Upwey, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

- 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

What affects the price in Upwey
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Upwey?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure 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.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Questions from Upwey
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Upwey?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Dorset.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Landlord and trade work in Upwey
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
