DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
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 usually cheaper.
Non-slip bath coating in Horley without replacing anything
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. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Horley questions
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Horley?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- 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

Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Horley. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in Horley?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
