About our coloured bath resurfacing in High Forge
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for High Forge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in High Forge, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Common questions in High Forge
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
Everywhere in the UK, High Forge included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

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. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why High Forge customers choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Work done at your home or business
- No need to remove anything
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
When to call us in High Forge
