Bishop's Norton questions
Do I have to be there?

What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Bishop's Norton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Non-slip bath coating in Bishop's Norton without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Bishop's Norton
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Common problems we fix in Bishop's Norton
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to care for the finish
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bishop's Norton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
