Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of

Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hay, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Hay
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairing versus replacing in Hay

FAQs for Hay
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your HR3 postcode.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
