FAQs for Pentrebane
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Do you come to Pentrebane?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Pentrebane from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Pentrebane
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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pentrebane. 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
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the whole suite
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
