Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
About our non-slip bath coating in Little Stonham
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Little Stonham and across Suffolk. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Stonham

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
What your quote should include

- How changes to the job are handled

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Little Stonham, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What a repair can’t fix

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
