10 questions to ask before you book

Non-slip bath coating in Houndscroft without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

  • Outdoor surfaces

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your GL5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
