What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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.

Materials we repair

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

Non-slip bath coating in Crownhill, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Crownhill and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Crownhill questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you come to Crownhill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Crownhill. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When to call us in Crownhill

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related 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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What affects the price in Crownhill

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Crownhill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crownhill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
