It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in Ringshall
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ringshall as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What affects the price in Ringshall
There is no area surcharge for Ringshall. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ringshall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
For a price in Ringshall, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
