Questions from Kirkby-in-Furness
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Non-slip bath coating in Kirkby-in-Furness without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Kirkby-in-Furness
We charge the same across the UK, including Kirkby-in-Furness. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkby-in-Furness use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
