DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in North Somercotes
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from North Somercotes
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Lincolnshire.
What areas do you cover?
All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works

- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
