Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Stoke Ash. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
About our non-slip bath coating in Stoke Ash
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. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Stoke Ash: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Stoke Ash?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Stoke Ash?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we would advise against a repair

- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace in Stoke Ash?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
