Pen-sarn questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Pen-sarn
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pen-sarn as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Repair or replace in Pen-sarn?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
