How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Broadley Common?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Broadley Common. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Broadley Common

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work in Broadley Common?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Broadley Common from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
