Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Larkhall
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Larkhall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
FAQs for Larkhall
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Is there a call-out fee?

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
