DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Canons Ashby as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 adds grip to the bath you have. Older homes around Canons Ashby may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. A repair keeps the original.
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Take a look at our Pricing.
What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Canons Ashby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Canons Ashby?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
In the older streets of Canons Ashby, around landmarks like Church of St Mary, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and non-slip bath coating gives it years more use.
