It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What affects the price in Golden Cross
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there. Somewhere as small as Golden Cross, access is generally the main thing to plan. Once we are there, the non-slip bath coating works exactly as anywhere else.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Most clients in Golden Cross get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
What we are called out for in Golden Cross
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.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Rented homes near Berwick (Sussex) station (about 3.6 miles south) change hands frequently, and repairing baths and shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them.
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- When it can be used again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
