When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot 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’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths

- Shower trays

Non-slip bath coating in Gorseness without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gorseness as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Gorseness questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Gorseness?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
