Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
About our non-slip bath coating in Oatlands
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What else we do in Oatlands
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Oatlands
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
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.
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.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. 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.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
