About Penarth
Penarth is about 4 miles north-east of Barry, in the Vale of Glamorgan. We visit clients in Penarth, so there is no workshop to go to. Penarth is one of 67 towns and villages in the Vale of Glamorgan we cover.
Here we cover the CF64 and CF11 postcode area. We regularly work on streets such as Victoria Square, Plassey Square and High Street and the roads around them.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Penarth, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Penarth
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
FAQs for Penarth
Which areas do you work in?
All of the Vale of Glamorgan, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Penarth
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Penarth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole suite
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Work done at your home or business
- Fixed prices from your pictures

What else we do in Penarth
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
