Questions from Culford
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Non-slip bath coating in Culford without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Culford
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common problems we fix in Culford
Smooth surfaces are 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.
Look out for any of the following:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Culford
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
