Newtown: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you cover the whole of Wokingham?
We work UK-wide, so Newtown is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you work in Newtown?
We do. Technicians travel to Newtown from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
About our non-slip bath coating in Newtown
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can help.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Newtown and across Wokingham. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we are called out for in Newtown
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
What affects the price in Newtown
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RG1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
