Common questions in Ancoats
Do you cover Ancoats?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ancoats and the rest of Greater Manchester. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Ancoats
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, in enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater Manchester. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Ancoats?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ancoats use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
Get a quote
