DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in East Pilton
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EH4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in East Pilton
For anyone letting property in or around East Pilton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Questions from East Pilton
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
