Repairing versus replacing in Skinner's Hill
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 treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

About our non-slip bath coating in Skinner's Hill
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PO36 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Skinner's Hill
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Skinner's Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
FAQs for Skinner's Hill
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Are there extra charges for Skinner's Hill?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
