What affects the price in Stubb's Cross

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN26 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Stubb's Cross

It suits 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 shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get 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 you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Stubb's Cross

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A 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 pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
