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 coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Non-slip bath coating in Buckabank, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Buckabank

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Buckabank questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover Buckabank?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Buckabank for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

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.
