DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Stoke Abbott
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, in shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stoke Abbott as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Stoke Abbott
There is no charge for travel to Stoke Abbott. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stoke Abbott
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
