Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pen-y-fan. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Pen-y-fan, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

Around Pen-y-fan, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some with bathrooms that have been in for years. Coloured bath resurfacing keeps a sound bath in use without a refit.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Pen-y-fan

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites

When to call us in Pen-y-fan

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as St Alban's Church, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work. Visits around Pen-y-fan are typically simple: we park, protect the room and get started, after agreeing the plan with you.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  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 day after, the suite is ready.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlord and trade work in Pen-y-fan

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
