Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Rotherham
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Rotherham and the surrounding area. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Rotherham: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you come to Rotherham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Rotherham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Rotherham. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When to call us in Rotherham
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
