It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Howden-le-Wear and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
