What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you cover Rickmansworth?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Rickmansworth. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Rickmansworth

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths

Landlord and trade work in Rickmansworth

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What affects the price in Rickmansworth

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Rickmansworth?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Rickmansworth, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
