DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Non-slip bath coating in Higher Crossings, done in place
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Higher Crossings: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Higher Crossings and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Higher Crossings
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise 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.

What affects the price in Higher Crossings
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Higher Crossings, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
