Coloured bath resurfacing in Waddicombe without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
When to call us in Waddicombe
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Common questions in Waddicombe
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you cover Waddicombe?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Waddicombe. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Waddicombe
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour-matched on site
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Most jobs done in one visit
See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Should I try a DIY kit 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.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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)
