FAQs for Scole Common
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Scole Common
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Scole Common
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
