How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace in Farther Howegreen?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Farther Howegreen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

10 questions to ask before booking

FAQs for Farther Howegreen

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
