Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Plaxtol, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

About our non-slip bath coating in Plaxtol

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

What we’re called out for in Plaxtol

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Plaxtol

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Plaxtol included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
