What affects the price in Heads Hill

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RG19 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Non-slip bath coating in Heads Hill, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Questions from Heads Hill

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you cover the entire of West Berkshire?

The entire UK, including all of West Berkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Heads Hill

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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