Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Doddington

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Doddington

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

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 are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Doddington

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover Doddington?

We do. We send a technician to Doddington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Doddington

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
