Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
About our non-slip bath coating in Bootham
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. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, 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
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Bootham
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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
