It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

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 tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Roughway. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Roughway, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Roughway

For anyone letting property in or around Roughway, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Roughway

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
