Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Kirkby Thore. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
About our non-slip bath coating in Kirkby Thore
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can help.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Questions from Kirkby Thore
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Kirkby Thore.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Kirkby Thore
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)

What we’re called out for in Kirkby Thore
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
