The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, across wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in St John's Chapel and across County Durham. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in St John's Chapel
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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.

Questions from St John's Chapel
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around St John's Chapel, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
