Common questions in Forest Side
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you cover Forest Side?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Forest Side for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Forest Side
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
When to call us in Forest Side
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.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlord and trade work in Forest Side
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace in Forest Side?
Instead, you could go for 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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Nothing taken out or refitted
