Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Pen-yr-englyn
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
In and around Pen-yr-englyn, homes are a mix of older cottages and newer houses. Older ones may still have cast iron or steel baths, which are well worth keeping.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Pen-yr-englyn
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Pen-yr-englyn: your questions answered
My house in Pen-yr-englyn is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Often, yes: original pieces are normally worth keeping. Send us pictures and we will tell you what’s possible.
I let a flat near Ynyswen station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly, and a repair between tenants is usually quicker than replacing.
Do you cover Pen-yr-englyn?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Pen-yr-englyn. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Rhondda Cynon Taff.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Pen-yr-englyn?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not 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 Mary's Church, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and coloured bath resurfacing gives it years more use.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
