Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Ferryhill. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

About our non-slip bath coating in Ferryhill

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Ferryhill

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Before you book anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Ferryhill

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
