How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Pen-y-wern
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Pen-y-wern questions
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Pen-y-wern?
We do. Technicians travel to Pen-y-wern from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Pen-y-wern. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pen-y-wern. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire suite
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
