Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

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 normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Storrs: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Storrs?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you come to Storrs?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Storrs for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- 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, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Storrs
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Storrs. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
