What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Ackleton

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down 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

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Common questions in Ackleton

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Ackleton?

We do. We send a technician to Ackleton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What affects the price in Ackleton

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ackleton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
