What affects the price in Annitsford
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Non-slip bath coating in Annitsford, done in place
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Annitsford and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Annitsford
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice

What else we do in Annitsford
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

FAQs for Annitsford
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Annitsford. Prices don’t change with location.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
