Coloured bath resurfacing in Forge Wood without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Forge Wood?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Forge Wood

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you cover Forge Wood?

We do. We send a technician to Forge Wood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Which areas do you work in?

All of West Sussex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Forge Wood. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Forge Wood customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.
