Landlord and trade work in Snelston Common
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
About our non-slip bath coating in Snelston Common
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.
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.

What else we do in Snelston Common
Repairing versus replacing in Snelston Common
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
Snelston Common: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
Across the UK, and that includes Snelston Common. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Common problems we fix in Snelston Common
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Honest limits
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
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DE6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
