When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Common questions in Shoreham-by-Sea

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you cover Shoreham-by-Sea?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Shoreham-by-Sea and the rest of West Sussex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BN43 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
