All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Questions from Pilton
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What areas do you cover?
All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you come to Pilton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Pilton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Pilton. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price

Repair or replace in Pilton?
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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
