We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Skelsmergh
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, in shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

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 adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

FAQs for Skelsmergh
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skelsmergh use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
