Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit

What’s near Royston

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Royston as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing in Royston
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Questions from Royston
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
What affects the price in Royston
There is no area surcharge for Royston. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
