Repair or replace in Colgate?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Colgate: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we’re called out for in Colgate
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet 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:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
- How your room will be protected
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. 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 before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
