Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Pen-yr-heol. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Pen-yr-heol get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Pen-yr-heol questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Pen-yr-heol?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Pen-yr-heol. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
