DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
About our non-slip bath coating in Kippen
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Landlord and trade work in Kippen
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces

Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Kippen, and we will reply with a fixed price.
