Coloured bath resurfacing in Wainstalls without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Wainstalls: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your HX2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wainstalls as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Wainstalls
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Wainstalls. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
When to call us in Wainstalls
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Common reasons people in Wainstalls contact us are:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
