DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Non-slip bath coating in Burford without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right, on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Burford questions

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Burford. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
