- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Lower Haysden
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. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Lower Haysden
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
