DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Most customers in North Roe get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in North Roe

These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
For a price in North Roe, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Common questions in North Roe
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in North Roe.
