FAQs for Backwell
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Non-slip bath coating in Backwell, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

When a repair is not the answer
We will not 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
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
Repairing versus replacing in Backwell
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Comparing quotes
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
