When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

About our non-slip bath coating in Glemsford

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Glemsford, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we work on in Glemsford

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

Glemsford: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you come to Glemsford?

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

What we are called out for in Glemsford

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

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Glemsford?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
