Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
Coloured bath resurfacing in Windlehurst, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in St Helens and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
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. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Windlehurst
- One visit for most repairs
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No extra charge for your area
Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What affects the price in Windlehurst
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material 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, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire suite
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Common questions in Windlehurst
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
