What affects the price in Little Common

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How the visit works

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 morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Little Common, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
